or maybe

fatum of unus vir est vicis of alius

'UNUS MOENIA TULIP EST ALIUS MOENIA FIMUS'

one mans tulip is another mans tulip

There is a ray of hope that things will start stabilizing itself in 6 months time (not necessarily improvements)

What's the Latin for "buy all the tulip you need now coz with the bank printing money like it grows on trees, we're all totally doomed"?

Surely if you have had debts and paid them off, all that divides you from other people is timing? You paid off your debts before the bad times, while others who may have intended to start repaying have been stung before they had the chance.

No, I'm still paying off now.

What divides me from people in Bagpuss's original post is not timing, it's prudence. While they seem to have been borrowing willy nilly because "everyone else is doing it so it must be OK", I've been overpaying my mortgage, which is where all my debt was.

I've got a shyte car though, not a proper contractor's conveyance at all.

The Doom started in the summer of 2007. Have you been in a coma ?

No, just reading your posts (amounts to the same thing I guess!)
