Im in my mid 30s and the 2008 depression just made buying a house possible. I had literally no wealth so it was just the ability to buy in low.  I don't see how someone else in their mid 30s would find that time to be distressing unless it was fucking with some inheritance.

I’m 32 in the Midwest a bit south of St. Louis. It devastated EVERYONE in my town and the surrounding towns. Our entire economy was construction and local businesses. Everything closed. Everyone foreclosed on their house. Didn’t hurt me directly so much as I already intended to work and pay for my living expenses and go to college on scholarship. My dad had to sell his house and buy and flip other houses to keep his business open. My mom luckily kept her insurance job. 

Fast forward to today all the same bad spending habits are right back in place and everyone is maxed out on debt again. People have no memory
