To be serious the moral of the tale is to consider terms of borrowing and rates and possibility of repayment at the time of taking the money. Very large secured loans are rarely a good idea as you obviously lose your property, if it was unsecured then walking awa and defaulting would only trash your credit record for six year.
Your circumstances may have changed but that just reinforces the fact that avoiding debt is a good idea, you continually become a worse risk, making borrowing less likely and more expensive.0
