I’ve been down this road before (as have all my fellow Americans), during a little dance called “The RTC’. You may or may not remember what those letters stand for…Resolution Trust Corporation. The fed created it to clean up the mess left by the owners who looted their own savings and loans.

To a similar degree, we’ve got an alligator on our hands and it’s got some strong jaws. It’s going to take everyone’s best effort to extricate ourselves from this problem.

I do know this, let’s say I “believe” this much to be true…a similar plan is our strongest solution. It won’t be a pretty one and there will surely be some painful necessities involved. Cleaning up messes of others is not a welcome chore by anyone. Rather than point fingers, we really need to protect each other and help in any way possible. If that means selling billions of dollars in assets at a loss to shore up our institutions, then so be it.

I find it disturbing that CEO’s and their companies escape relatively unharmed…inthat, they all still have huge salaries and homes. It angers me that because of the actions of a few, the suffering of many is the price. Everyday, I see the results. Everyday I visit a destroyed REO property I see remnants of what was at one time a beautiful home. I see evidence left behind of a child who once called her room a safe place to come and cry. I see holes in walls, removed appliances, broken windows, wiring ripped from the outlet - all done in an act of violent disdain of a man who on the day of move in, called this a sanctuary for his family.

Overspending is a terrible thing. Not only does it get you into a lot of debt, but it also makes you feel miserable. So why do you do it?

Sadly, whether you want to admit it or not, the ONLY thing that causes you to overspend is greed.

You see, you don’t get into debt over things you need in life. You get into debt over things you want to have - whether you can afford them or not.

There are only four things in life that we need - food, shelter, clothing and medicine. Everything else is simply a want.

And even with your needs, it’s easy to get carried away and want more than you can afford. You don’t need a big house or to eat out at expensive restaurants or to wear the latest designer clothes or to take copious amounts of vitamin supplements every day.

All you really need is a home that’s an adequate size for your family, wholesome food on the diner table every day and enough practical and comfortable clothes to see you through the week.
