Looking at the clock and date got me thinking around this time 7 years ago there were some huge changes in the world.
kevin Rudd was putting up his hand up as a candidate to run in the election, all his talk about pulling the troops out of Afghanistan, computers for every child he said.... free insulation for all.... what a sad year that was for many families who lost their young boys installing pink batts.
John Howard was clearly on the way out and out of touch
Interest rates went up .25% to an 11 year record high - i remember my mother locking the interest in on her house because she could not afford for it to go any higher, she's still paying 6.75% to this day.

I was living in NewFarm in Brisbane working as the National Marketing Manager for a Telecommunications Phoneword company paying $650 a week rent and spent an hour on an overcrowded bus to get to work every day.

Now i'm in Ballarat Victoria working from home running my own businesses, I have a baby on the way and looking out the window checking out the weather for potential to go prospecting for me life is more enjoyable the simpler it becomes. (i know baby on the way it wont be simple for long)

Where were you back in November 2007? and how has your life changed?
