    Don't worry they'll never default, as they keep printing more money (they should have defaulted decades age, but keep rasing the borrowing ceiling). But they will go through hyper inflation soon enough... That will be wild.

    While the Dot Com and 9/11 were during our lifetimes, they weren't our adult lives. Maybe 9/11 for very old millennials in some definitions?

    Was a teen, but I was old enough to recall fully what happened, at least for 9/11

    But did it effect you as a worker/investor?

    Not sure if sarcastic or not.

    The dotcom crash indirectly allowed Google to take over the web and end the search engine competition.

    9/11 It affected my parents and the ability to cross the border without passports. It affected the US zeitgeist in a massively negative way.
