How are you doing now? Are things getting better for you? I remember when my car got repossessed, and how it felt. I felt like a failure, too, in spite of all my efforts to negotiate the loan so I could keep it. All they kept saying was, "make a payment and we'll negotiate". Well, fer cryin' out loud, if I could have made a payment, I would have! Idjits!
I wish I could answer your question. Unfortunately, we have no control over what I see as 'the powers that be', meaning this whole global economic crisis caused by bad government policies and bad decisions by corporate egomaniacs that chew up and spit out the little people like us. All I can say is, find ways to work around them as we have. We keep a low profile (no public social networking sites, pay cash for everything, and keep our assets to a minimum - they can't take what you don't have) and enjoy activities that don't require a lot of money.
We now rent a small house from a really great guy who is the retired chief of police in our town, and we drive older vehicles. My husband hates his job - it's nothing like the caliber of work he's done in the past, and I'm hoping to go back to work next month. We're trying to save up enough to get a place in the country - hopefully in another state LOL! - and settle down. I'd like to grow all my own vegetables and keep a few chickens and other small animals. In other words....I want the simple life.
Blessings to you!
