Those debt help frauds, countless scam artists and those that don't pay their mortgage even though they can. I hope the government will do something about it.

Just write down the tasks at hand and shut down all the technology that enviably slows you down. Actually, the more you do, the faster you will do it and the less you'd want to rest. It's backwards but it works that way as long as you aren't always doing something you hate (in which case you should do something about it).

One should do things right away, but when there are 50 things to do, which do you do first? Something always gets postponed. This is the modern age and I think this is why we all get ADD to some extent. I find myself switching from task-to-task because I am constantly interrupted, (thanks to technology), or I'm afraid of forgetting to do something else that just popped into my head. I agree that important financial considerations should be attended to first, but sometimes family matters come up, ones that are more important than dollars. At other times, we just get lazy or feel like doing nothing for a while. Downtime keeps us sane though. You do make good points, but perhaps matters are oversimplified.

I have heard from my other friends that they know people who have done this though, which is sad.

The bailout was certainly not passed with this type of thing in mind, and I think this is the type of mentality that causes government programs to spiral out of control. Please encourage your friend to honor the terms of his loan and not to look for a shortcut.
