I have a sibling that is in the mortgage business. When these seemingly wonderful adjustable interest only loans came into style he sold one to my dad. My dad looked at it as a way to "get what he wanted when he wanted it. "  He needed and wanted another house, for whatever reasons.

However, when he was in the process of making that decision he looked at me and asked, "Does this seem right to you?" It's not that I'm a CPA or CFO or anything like that.  Maybe I just have somewhat of a vision.

"Nope, this doesn't seem right to me either."

My dad was from an era where instant gratification had much less far reaching ramifications.  The simple remedy to the needs, wants, and desires of the ego was perhaps a course of antibiotics, rather than losing one's life savings or house.

In any event, "wanting" won out and he did the deal. Somewhere along the line he refinanced the thing, because his basic intuition must have told him it was too good to be true. And whatever common sense someone had taught him along the way also kicked in. So he did that even in his 80s, because apparently he wasn't willing to put the rest of what he had worked for on the line even if he was sitting in the Universal waiting room with number in hand.

What is different about this situation and the one you perhaps now find yourself in?

I read this today: "My kids have seen me get tearful and frustrated, and I tell them, 'This is a mistake we were drawn to with the belief it would make our lives better. I wish we would have understood it and asked more questions."

My question really is, why didn't you? Why were you drawn to it in the first place? The answer is because the ego wants what it wants when it wants it. It's that simple and that is exactly how we get in our own way.

The broad and grand appeal of "buy now and pay later" has been around for as long as I can remember. It's very tempting for the ego-self. The ego seems to need constant gratification. And so we feed it accordingly with fresh crops of validation.

The problems that so many are facing now as they desperately try to understand why all of this has happened are very sad to me, but there is a much bigger lesson there and a much bigger question: What is wrong with "I want??

It's an illusion. It's a mis-alignment. It's what's in your way.
