Probably 2020 and 2021 when we were excused from paying rent for awhile, and $1,000 magically appeared in our bank accounts a few times.

A lot of the world was jobless, rent became debt and lost a lot of family members. For me all of those along with getting depressed and still unable to recover to my normal appetite.
