boom years
Times of plenty
Boom years are periods of rapid economic growth and prosperity, typically marked by rising employment, increased spending, and general optimism.
The phrase often appears nostalgically: During the boom years, everyone seemed to be making money.
It contrasts with bust years or downturns, reflecting the cyclical nature of economies.
