The demise of Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Woolies & MFI - the near demise of the US car industry, AIG, Fanny Mae & Freddie Mac....
The fact that from Australia, to South Korea, to Germany, France, the UK and the US – taxpayers financial support for our banking system is now equivalent to more than one quarter of global GDP, or more than £9 TRILLION (or $13.4 TRILLION).
For me it was my Fightin' Phils winning their first World Series in 28 years, and ending a 25 year pro sports championship drout, and of course the ensuing celebration and parade.

My monthly depreciating commission check
Obama winning the oval office
My 8 day tour of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Great time, Perfect weather and a convertible!
The 1st major recession of my life

Don't ever quit......I've been there, and this was easily the weirdest year of my entire life.....not all good weird, either, mind you......hang in there man. Just when you think the storm clouds are NOT going to break, EVER, they do. I know it's lame, cliche advice, but I have seen it play it personally in my own life to know that it is true. It will, and always does, ease up. :thumbsup:
That's definitely high on the list, but for me it was Obama being elected president. I really didn't think I'd live to see the day america would elect a black president. Regardless of what kind of president he turns out to be it was a historic moment for this nation.
The time that I shat so loudly into my toilet that the echo created such a violent vibration that my testicles actually got scared and ran inside of my body for protection.
