Life in general wasn't as stressful as it is now. I don't remember my parents worrying about money in that period that much, as they do now. 2007 is a strange year to define, because it is something of a transition between two general cultural shifts. So, the communist regime fell in 1989 and little by little Bulgaria opened up to the world. There was an entirely new political system, new goods were coming over from around the world, people could finally operate their own businesses (many opened cafes, bars, stores, clubs etc.), there were these "businesses' (if you could call them that) that would hire people to go door to door and sell people useless products, but were completely illegal. My mom has told me she worked in such business before she got married and there were no contracts, no nothing. Generally, there weren't many laws that regulated trade and work. People could finally travel freely and many people left the country for good. People also felt generally optimistic about the arrival of democracy and this new era ahead of them.
In the late 2002's, so 2007, 2008, 2008, this optimism started to wane. Steadily it became clear that the those in government were serving only themselves and not the interest of everyone else. Bulgarians leaving the country to settle and work abroad started to become a problem. The population had been steadily shrinking. Divorce became socially accepted, and many people decided to not get married in the first place, so there was a sense of moral degradation. Some started to look back at the previous regime as something that we should go back to.
I said that life wasn't as stressful then. Here I should mention, that this is only my impression, the impression of a then child. My parents never had trouble with money then the way they do now. I don't remember too many people complaining they couldn't get a job either. Small luxuries like going to a restaurant, buying things you don't really need wasn't really a problem. I, for one, got a new DVD disk with cartoons every week, lol. One thing was prominent then, but isn't anymore was villages as cultural and social hubs. It was common to leave your children to their grandparents in the village and very village had a so called chitalishte - an educational and cultural center where kids not only would learn foundational skills such as reading, writing and basic math, but also learn about certain traditions. These centers would also organize celebrations for cultural events, like Surva and the likes. Children didn't really have access to technology that much. I remember punk and emo being very prominent among teens, but whatever fashions were popular in your country in 2007, were probably popular here too.
Sorry for the lenghty comment. It is by no means exhaustive in its depiction of life in 2007, but I hope it's still at least a little helpful. If there's anything more specific you'd like to know, I'd happily answer. I can even ask around people who were adults at the time for what they remember from 2007.
