Summary: The well-publicized "credit crunch" now punishing the stock market and evaporating billions of dollars from the value of homes throughout the world has its seeds in the all-too-common, yet hugely destructive, habit of looking for shortcuts instead of doing the hard work. Sold on the American dream to own a home, people jumped on attractive flexible-rate loans, knowing deep down that they hadn't put in the work to afford the balloon payments due after just a few short years. Now the dream is coming to a very bad end, with foreclosure mounting to an all-time high. The problem is much bigger than just a credit crunch that could be eased by the Fed, says Life Coach Devlyn Steele (http://www.ToolsToLife.com). "This is part of the recurring trend in American thinking: instant gratification. We see it in all areas of American life, with people taking dangerous short cuts in wanting to get rich overnight, lose weight instantly, take pills to solve complex problems, and much more. "As a nation -- and as individuals -- we face dangers to our health and financial security. We need to instill a foundation of solid behavior that will lead to a healthy and productive life." Coach Steele is on such a mission, offering a groundbreaking "self-directed self help" program and social support network.
