Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

Yes they do, primarily to remember the humanity part of our existence. I sure hope I do not lose my two in the medical journey I am on. I've lost everything in the process and received notice from a lender they want to repo my only last asset because I am behind in my payments. The worst part of that is I only have 2 payments left so it would be a huge windfall for them to repo. And they don't seem to care about my medical situation, only the windfall they make if they repo the truck. Hope your day is going better than mine.

,,,sorry to hear this. I am in Canada. Not sure about here or U,S.A.but I was under the impression that if over a certain percentage of payments had been made on something, then could not be repossessed? Anyone here know how the law applies to this, or does it depend on which State one lives in? ... we have places to get free legal advice ... any chance they could help you if one close to you Douglas?

Thank you Valerie. Unfortunately it does not work that way here, especially in my situation. The truck is worth much much more than the 2 payments owed so they can repo it, sell it to a friend of their cheap, then claim there is nothing left over to give me back. You would think we would have a better system but ours favors the lenders on all ways.

Never thought about this situation happening when we first purchased our vehicles years ago. Maybe as we had borrowed the money from our Credit Union ... as they would have probably been able to defer the payments etc. or even write off if illness or such... so maybe your payments are directly to the company that sold you the truck. Agree it does not seem a good system if only two payments left! So even proof of your illness means nothing to them? e.g. defer the payments or even charge a small "penalty" for when you get better? I suppose they have rules but rules are meant to be broken they say! Have you tried speaking to the lender's supervisors or head office? Anyone with any more suggestions here? Sorry and I hope your medical journey ends up that you get better!

in reply to @psychoticnonconformist I am so sorry to hear of your dilemma. I was in a similar situation many years ago and was able to discuss the situation with the lender. However, the house did end up in a short sale, so I understand your fear of losing your home. Perhaps a family member could help? I would hope that with just 2 payments left, the lender would grasp your situation and offer you a solution that is mutually beneficial. What about a "Go Fund Me" account?

Oh title Inspiring Quote - I had "lost" this section just wanted to share a one-liner from front of book I opened last night I thought was good, may be an old one but I had never seen before:

"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards."

Gosh, if only we had even a hint of the future !!! We can make decisions based on the past, on gut feelings, on instinct.. but have no idea of what will happen. And although my life can be "understood" looking back, I still have no idea why I made the decisions I did!

The happiest people don't have the best of everything,
they just make the best of everything they have.

One of my Mum's sayings I recall from long time ago:
What you lose on the swings you gain on the round-about

@lacy2 backwards/forwards is a good quote!

I heard a Michael Jackson song yesterday that made me reflect (again) re: “Change”:
I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
