Greta Li and I got a #CFPB blog post to drop on y'all:

"How are #mortgages with a #COVID-related #forbearance performing in 2023?"

"While we expressed concern in both 2021 and 2022 about borrowers’ ability to recover from periods of forbearance, our most recent analysis shows that the majority of borrowers in forbearance in 2021 – including Black and Hispanic borrowers – were largely able to become current on their payments by March 2023."

I'm reminded of the advice from Marcus Aurelius: “Say to yourself in the early morning: today I shall meet meddling, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, and uncharitable men.”

You are less likely to react with impatience if you habitually factor in a certain expectation of people being difficult sometimes.
