LONDON (England) CNN -- Could the era of spend, spend, spend be about to end?

What is the biggest personal problem ordinary people face? The answer increasingly, is debt.

In the last 15 years countries such as the U.S., UK, Australia and Canada have enjoyed an economic golden age.

For many consumers it seems there is no product or experience that is out of reach as long as you have a few credit cards in your wallet.

It's been the era of "because I'm worth it," $1,000 "It" handbags, celebrity worship, four credit cards apiece and vacations abroad.

But a flip side is emerging from this era of excess, with potent signs in the last week that the party is coming to a close. There have been warnings signs in the U.S. this week that the economy is slowing.

Rising U.S. home foreclosures and a persistent housing slump have triggered a U.S. credit crunch which has unsettled global markets and raised concerns about a possible economic slowdown.

The International Monetary Fund's chief economist Simon Johnson said on Wednesday: "We've seen a shock that has spread to other industrialized countries faster than expected. It's an important wake-up call for all of us."

On Friday the financial world was rocked when one of the biggest UK mortgage lenders Northern Rock received emergency support from the Bank of England.  According to UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph, "it's further proof that the contagion of the credit crisis is spreading through the economy."

If the U.S. housing slump, IMF warnings and Northern Rock crisis are part of the economic big picture, then it's also important to heed the calls from the coalface. What is the biggest personal problem ordinary people face? The answer increasingly, is debt.

Drowning in debt

This week UK charity Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) said the number of people seeking assistance on how to manage their debts reached record levels. It is now the most common problem the advice service handles. The advice service recorded 1.7 million cases last year -- a rise of 20 percent of callers with debt-related problems.

Credit card bills and other loans were 40 percent of all inquiries, while there was a "worrying" rise of people struggling to pay the basics such as utilities bills.

The organization said the surge in calls for help was evidence that the lengthy consumer boom was taking its toll. They singled out the proliferation of debt consolidation companies for blame.

Economist Andrew Charlton from the London School of Economics believes the U.S. housing slump and high levels of personal debt are part of the same problem: People on low incomes getting in over their heads with either housing stock or personal debt they cannot afford.

The house of cards comes down when it is time to collect: a slight upward movement in interest rates, a drop in house prices or job losses (4,000 in the U.S. in the last month, a four-year high) means payments cannot be made and the lenders foreclose.

The chickens coming home to roost

For Phillip Hodson, Fellow of the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy, high levels of callers distressed by debt are no surprise.

"The chickens have come home to roost. At the personal level people have to face some very difficult decisions. It's difficult to break the (credit card) habit and people whose habit is going to the mall will find it very hard," he said.

And what habits we have: More than 4.2 million Britons have no qualms about taking their next holiday before actually paying for the last, according to statistics from UK bank Alliance & Leicester.

Research from Scottish Widows shows one in three adults in the UK refuse to plan their finances at all, and those who do find the time to review them set aside just five minutes a week.

Reliance on credit is a problem to be tackled not only by consumers but also governments, with our addiction to credit having a serious ripple effect on the economy.

In the U.S. an increase in credit card debt again pushed up outstanding U.S. consumer debt in July by $7.5 billion, the Federal Reserve reported last Monday. Consumer credit outstanding rose to $2.46 trillion in July, up from a revised $2.45 trillion in June, the Federal Reserve said.

U.S. consumers are defaulting on credit card payments at a significantly higher rate than last year, "raising the prospect of problems in the stricken U.S. subprime mortgage market spreading to other types of consumer debt," according to the Financial Times this week.

Credit card companies were forced to write off 4.58 percent of payments as uncollectable in the first half of 2007, almost 30 percent higher than last year. Late payments also rose, and the quarterly payment rate -- a measure of cardholders' willingness and ability to repay their debt -- fell for the first time in over four years.

Simply put, we have developed a habit for credit cards that we can't afford, with people becoming adrift from old notions of delayed gratification: You save first before you purchase. Hodson told CNN about his grandmother using both sides of an envelope before she'd throw it out and keeping pieces of string that could later be reused.

This World War II austerity is now folklore although some pundits say panic over the environment and resource use, as well an increase in personal debt may bring the war generation's frugal habits back into vogue.

Why are we hooked on credit?

Philip Hodson sees a few factors responsible for our credit binge: "We've developed retail therapy -- it's a drug -- but it's a very fragile plant and to build an economy based on it is ridiculous."

He also says the government has encouraged a people to be reckless with money through their own bad example: "The government must take much of the blame for encouraging a debt culture and saddling students early on with loans."

The availability of credit lines also contributes to the debt trap.

In the U.S., 80 percent of households have at least one credit card. Yet that is not enough for many credit providers. Five billion credit card solicitations are mailed each year nationwide, with each cardholder owning an average of seven credit cards -- three bank credit cards and four store or gas credit cards. Average household or individual debt (or both) is about $9,300 per household holding at least one credit card.

According to the advocacy group Demos, the average balance among lower- and middle-income households is $8,650. We use credit cards for computers, the latest gadgets such as iPods, holidays and fashion, all the things many of us now deem as essential.

This readjustment of our needs -- perceiving that we now need more rather than the same or less also fuels our credit addiction.

Economist Andrew Charlton believes our reliance on credit is symptomatic of prosperity: "It's the by-product of the boom. In for example, Australia almost 30 percent of the population have never lived through a recession -- young people believe you can always take on debt because it's always easy to pay off. Prosperity is the cause of our credit addiction."

According to Hodson, celebrity culture has a lot to answer for: "The credit problem is exacerbated by celebrity culture. It's the ubiquity of television -- you are taught by the electronic media to envy people's lives who are richer."

"With celebrity culture 150 years ago your horizon would be your parish. Today anybody living on benefits can watch the plutocrats of the world having fun -- I'm not surprised they are envious."

His advise to minimize envy? "Always compare yourself to poorer people."

The bulk of callers ringing the Citizens Advice Bureau are juggling debts but in the future Hodson thinks it will be harder to borrow money, due to the difficulty we'll have in repaying it. When lines of credit tighten or dry up, we'll have to readjust our spending habits and tastes.

Luxury items will once again be out of reach for most except the super-rich.

"What's the answer to borrowing?" asked Hodson. "It's borrow more. But it's musical chairs and what's going to happen when you can't sit down?"

Hodson answers the question himself: "I think a lot of people are going to be forced out of the credit economy because they can't borrow and they have a black mark against their name -- similarly if you default. Banks will start to discriminate more carefully."

As for our insatiable appetite to have the latest things and have them now: well it may be that if we can't afford them and no longer have a seemingly endless source of credit, we may have to go without. This in turn will tighten the screws on the retail industry.

In UK newspaper The Independent, the "spending squeeze" was forecast with "retailers reporting falling sales as debt-laden consumers tighten their belts."

Some experts believe it's not spiraling debt which will be the wake up call but the environmental costs of conspicuous consumption, while Charlton believes "a recession will trigger a change in behavior. The next recession won't be like the last one, it will cut deeper."  E-mail to a friend

On CNN's "State of the Union," host and chief national correspondent John King goes outside the Beltway to report on the issues affecting communities across the country. This week, King traveled to North Carolina to look at the financial crisis' impact on health care.

Doug Pegram, of North Carolina, is one of many unemployed Americans struggling with medical bills.

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina (CNN) -- For Doug Pegram, it is on the one hand simple math: His medical bills cost roughly $300 a month and a health insurance policy would cost $550.

"Two or three hundred dollars goes a long way," Pegram said. Especially when you are living on unemployment benefits.

Simple math, and a huge gamble: Pegram has a rare disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, that in some patients can be life-threatening.

"If anything happens, that's another story," Pegram told us. "But you have to do what you have to do sometimes, and you just hope for the best. And do it."  Watch Pegram describe his tough choices Â»

Life on the edge started in November, when Pegram lost his job at Hanesbrands Inc., the clothing manufacturer where he had worked for three years. Ironically, Pegram's job as a senior analyst included writing reports for Hanes management on sales and economic trends.

"Every couple months, it [layoffs] went through the company and a few people here and there and it got worse and worse," he said. "I knew it was in the future somewhere."

Now, he is looking for a job and keeping his fingers crossed his condition doesn't worsen. Ehlers-Danlos is a group of inherited disorders that affect connective tissues. In Pegram's case, it means constant pain in his legs and some other joints.

"One type is you can have heart failure if you don't get checked out, so it's pretty serious that you actually go to the doctor," Pegram said.

His monthly visit costs $150 -- and patients like Pegram who are without insurance are asked to pay up front. His medications run about $126 at a discount pharmacy. Pegram has old bills showing that when he was at Hanes and insured, the same medication cost the insurance company $68 because of its discount. His doctor also accepted a lower negotiated rate from the insurer.

"So everything is inflated," he said of his medical costs now.

He could have signed up for the COBRA health coverage available to workers as they lose their jobs. It was that policy Pegram said would have cost him $550 or "almost half of what you get every month" in jobless benefits and leave him "not able to pay for a place to live, and food, and all that."  Watch President Obama's summit on health care Â»

In an interview at his condo, we asked Pegram: "Should you be doing more? If you had insurance, would you be doing more, seeing more doctors?"

"Yes, I would be."

"And what's the risk of not doing that?"

"I could go downhill quicker. It's a debilitating condition, so eventually I could, I don't know."

Yet he is remarkably upbeat about his health and about the prospects of finding a job before his benefits run out in a few months.

"I think I will find something before then," Pegram said, while conceding he might be forced soon to lower his sights and look for work that pays less than his Hanes position as long as it provides health care coverage.

The jobless rate in the Winston-Salem metropolitan area was 7.6 percent in December 2008, up from 4.4 percent one year earlier. With the higher unemployment comes increases in the number of residents without health insurance.

Dr. Bruce Wham has been a practicing dentist for 26 years and an amateur economist for the past year or so.

"Most people feel like it is going to get worse before it gets better," Wham said when we visited his practice. "Talking to patients, talking about automobile purchases, any kind of renovations of houses, even education -- sending their kids to college, there is a lot of concern about purchasing those things or how they are going to do those things and dentistry is sometimes considered more of a luxury than a necessity and we get pushed to the back lot."

One way Wham can tell if a longtime patient is about to lose his or her job is if they suddenly schedule treatments and repairs they had been putting off. It is a sign they are about to lose their insurance coverage.

"Especially if there is something that they need to get done or have been 'treatment-planned' for and they have been told by the dentist, the hygienist, to replace this, yes, they are more likely to want to come in and get that done as soon as they can," Wham said.

The flip side: A patient who needs major work who instead endures the pain, or asks Wham if there is a cheaper, though perhaps temporary, solution.

"If there is anything that can be delayed or pushed back, that is what they are doing. They are asking us, 'Is there any way that we can hold off? Is there anything less involved, less costly until I get my job, until I know my insurance is going to be back?' in effect.

"And so we do a lot of that, not necessarily temporary restorations, but things that might not last as long and that may not be as costly to try to tide people over for the short term."

So it maybe is not in the best interest of the patient in the long term, but maybe better on their wallet in the short term?

"Better on their wallet. That is exactly right."

text: Wham

text: A

text: endures

text: the

text: pain

text: or

text: asks

text: Wham

text: if

text: there

text: is

text: a

text: cheaper

text: though

text: perhaps

text: temporary

text: solution

text: If

text: there

text: is

text: anything

text: that

text: can

text: be

text: delayed

text: or

text: pushed

text: back

text: that

text: is

text: what

text: they

text: They

text: are

text: asking

text: us

text: Is

text: there

text: any

text: way

text: that

text: we

text: can

text: Is

text: until

text: until

text: I

text: so

text: we

text: to

text: try

text: in

England international Gerrard, 31, missed the match after picking up an infection in his right ankle, having only recently recovered from a groin injury which has restricted the midfielder to just four English Premier League appearances this season.

Dalglish also faced questions on the fitness of former England defender Jamie Carragher, who was ruled out of the match at the Hawthorns with a calf strain.

"Carragher has a calf strain. Steven Gerrard has an infection in his ankle," Dalglish, 60, told a press conference. "Steven was in my mind for the game today but it just flared up.

"We are off tomorrow, so we'll have a more accurate idea on Monday or Tuesday when we return to training. We will be more accurate next week than what we can be now."

Dalglish, who also managed the Anfield club between 1985 and 1991, praised the injured duo, while also expressing his delight at seeing his charges pick up three points without two of the team's most influential players.

"We are certainly much better with them in the squad than out of it," he said. "They have done magnificently for this football club and they will continue to do magnificently for us too.

"They will continue to make a contribution, even now. I suppose it is a reflection on the strength of the squad when the two talisman figures are not playing and you still come and put on such a top performance."

Gerrard and Carragher are products of the Liverpool youth academy, with both players part of the team which earned a penalty shoot-out victory over Italian side AC Milan in the 2005 European Champions League final.

Dalglish will hope to have the duo available for the home match against Swansea City on Saturday.

HERMOSILLO, Mexico (CNN)  -- President Felipe Calderon traveled to Hermosillo on Saturday to meet with health officials as the death toll of a day care center fire there grew to 38 children.

A crib and baby seats lie outside a day care center Friday in Hermosillo, Mexico, as police cordon off the area.

The cause of Friday's blaze remained unknown, but investigators concluded that the fire did not start inside the ABC Day Care, Eduardo Bours, the governor of Sonora state said.

As of Saturday night, 23 children remained hospitalized, 15 of them in critical condition, Sonora spokesman Daniel Duran told CNN. Another 10 children had been transported to other hospitals: eight to Guadalajara, one to Ciudad Obregon, and one to Sacramento, California.

A team of 29 medical experts in Hermosillo were deciding if any more victims would be moved to the Shriners Hospital in Sacramento, or elsewhere.

In addition, six adults were injured, Duran said.

"Without a doubt this is the worst disaster we've had," Bours told CNN.

The president arrived with Interior Secretary Fernando Gomez Mont and Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova to get firsthand updates from doctors and investigators, the state news agency Notimex reported.

Calderon ordered the nation's attorney general to investigate the blaze.

Most of the victims died from smoke inhalation and not burns, Bours said. But the fire was enough for the roof to collapse, he added.

At the time of the blaze, 142 children were inside the ABC Day Care. The day care is for children ages 2 to 4, but Bours confirmed that children even younger were among the victims.

All the children at the day care had been accounted for by Saturday evening, Bours said.

A severely burned 3-year-old girl arrived Saturday at the Sacramento hospital -- where pediatric burn treatment is a specialty -- and was in critical condition, according to Dr. Tina Palmieri, assistant chief of the burn unit.

The child was burned over 80 percent of her body, the doctor told reporters. She said the hospital normally can save just over half of the children with burns that severe.

In Hermosillo, a large crowd gathered outside of the emergency entrance of the city's general hospital and many people consoled each other, video from the scene showed.

"They told me that this happened in a matter of five minutes," Hermosillo Mayor Ernesto Gandara told reporters after surveying the scene.

(CNN) -- Chris Rock is best known for two things: being funny and being crass.

"If you're the president you only have two jobs: peace and money," Chris Rock said.

"This is what people come to see. I'm just doing my show," the comedian said with a laugh.

He's also known for his political commentary, but there's one person he's having a lot of trouble making fun of -- president-elect Barack Obama.

This is apparent in his new DVD "Kill the Messenger," which combines three shows from his international tour: New York; London, England; and Johannesburg, South Africa.

"It was a tour nobody wanted to do... because the general perception is that comedy doesn't translate," Rock said.

But thanks to the Internet, the world is a lot smaller than it was even 10 years ago. And people are digging the same jokes, he said, including ones about John McCain and Sarah Palin.

As the DVD readies for release on January 20, CNN talked with Rock about his lack of Obama jokes, Inauguration Day and why racism will never die. The following is an edited version of that interview:

CNN: I watched the special last night, and I noticed that you did a lot of jokes about John McCain -- his age, his war hero story -- but not so many about Barack Obama. Is it harder to make fun of Obama?

Chris Rock: He's just one of those guys, you know, like Will Smith. There's no Will Smith jokes. There's no Brad Pitt jokes. You know, what are you going to say? "Ooh, you used to have sex with Jennifer Anniston. Now you have sex with Angelina Jolie. You're such a loser." What do you say? "Ooh, your movies are big. You make $20 million." There's nothing to say about Brad Pitt.

CNN: Why is Obama like that?

Rock: It's like "Ooh, you're young and virile and you've got a beautiful wife and kids. You're the first African-American president." You know, what do you say?

CNN: As time goes on do you think it will get easier?

Rock: Of course, as time goes on. At some point he's going to -- there's always slip-ups. No one can survive that level of scrutiny without occasionally making it easy for a comedian.

CNN: Let's talk about the inauguration. Are you going?

Rock: No, I have to go to Sundance [Film Festival]. I've got a movie premiering at Sundance. So I have to go to the whitest place in America -- Utah.

CNN: What's it going to be like for you on Inauguration Day?

Rock: It'll be a cool day. It's weird. I've never watched an inauguration. I've never watched anyone get sworn in. You know, it's like Election Day and then you look up and somebody else is the president two months later. It was never like, "I can't wait till tomorrow. Oh my god! They're going to swear in Jimmy Carter!"

CNN: Are you going to watch this one, though?

Rock: I'll put it this way -- like any business is going to be getting done while this guy is getting sworn in. Like I'm going to be in a meeting. Everything is going to stop for however long it takes. Hope they get to it -- hope it's not like I gotta listen to three different versions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" or something. I hope it's not like Rosa Parks' funeral, where everybody f***ing speaks.

CNN: What are you hoping Barack Obama does for this country? What do you think is his most important task?

Rock: You know, if you're the president you only have two jobs: peace and money. That's it. I mean, it's like, what did Clinton do? We were at peace and we had a budget surplus. That's it. That's the gig. The closer you get us to those two goals, you know, that's pretty much the gig. Is that too much to ask for?

CNN: At one point in your act, you said, "Racism will never die. It will only multiply." Why do you believe that?

Rock: Well, it's never going to die. Maybe it won't multiply. Is racism going to end? No.

It's not even race. People are always going to, you know, find something wrong with people who are not the exact same as them. That's just what it is. Black, white, short, tall, religions, whatever. People are bad, man.

CNN: How was it different playing for an audience in Africa?

Rock: You know it's weird -- it really wasn't that different. I mean, that's why I love this special. People are the same wherever you go. And if they weren't, they wouldn't laugh at the same s**t. If they were so different they wouldn't know what I was talking about.

CNN: Stand-up comics I've talked to in the past say they like their shows to appear spontaneous. But your new DVD stitches together three shows, illustrating to the audience how scripted comedy can be. Why did you decide on that format?

Rock: You know, I don't believe in that "come up with stuff on the spot." I mean, honestly, that's why I think comedy, stand-up comedy, always plays such a back seat to music.

Like, would you go see a singer if you thought he just came up with the songs? They wouldn't give out Grammys for songs that they just came up with. You're going to go see someone at Radio City or Madison Square Garden, I think you'd like to know that they have an act before you spend $75.

So yeah, when you say "came up with it right there," that's really cute when you paid $8 to get in and two-drink minimum. When the ticket's $75, that's a whole other mindset.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- He immortalized the "smell of napalm in the morning" in "Apocalypse Now," but Robert Duvall's first meeting with director Francis Ford Coppola was no indication of the fruitful relationship to come.

Duvall starred in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather," "The Godfather: Part II" and "Apocalypse Now."

It was 1969 and Coppola had parted ways with a lead character in indie film "The Rain People." He was stuck and 38-year-old Duvall was drafted in at the last minute on the suggestion of a friend.

Despite slapdash beginnings, their work together has produced some of Duvall's greatest roles and many of Coppola's most critically-acclaimed films.

Duvall started working in theater in the 1950s before moving into film in the early 1960s with roles like Boo Radley in "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Things took off for him in 1970s when he starred in Coppola's multiple award-winning movies "The Godfather" and "The Godfather: Part II,"

But, it is his Oscar-nominated turn as indestructible, napalm-loving Lt. Colonel Kilgore in Coppola's Vietnam war opus "Apocalypse Now" that remains one of Duvall's most enduring roles.

Duvall sits down with CNN's Revealed and talks about, "Apocalypse Now" and his relationship with the master movie-maker.

Revealed: Can you sum up the impact Coppola had on your life, your career?

RD: I would have had another career. He helped all our careers with "The Godfather." It was a kind of catalyst for all the actors in one and two. It helped me. I kinda designed my own career.

Revealed: What's Coppola's approach to directing?

RD: I think sometimes Francis works best amidst confusion and I mean that in a good way. He'll come in and say, 'Let's try something,' and then you rehearse. Like any good director he sees what you bring. He realizes it's gotta come from the actor. He's open enough ... of course, he'll give his opinion but he wants to see what you bring.

Revealed: The problems Coppola encountered while shooting "Apocalypse Now" are legendary. What was it like working on that film?

RD: There are things I won't go into! But it was pretty crazy. Sometimes we'd get one shot in a day, if that. Everything was in disarray. The hurricane came in and ruined the sets, s**t! Then they had to build them again, and we were there nine or 10 months. Dennis Hopper all doped up, not doing it Francis' way. Francis would do 45 takes, and then he said, 'Now, would you please do one my way," he'd say to Dennis. Martin Sheen got the heart attack, and they didn't know what they would do if they lost Martin. Francis said it was like warfare.  Watch Coppola and others talk about the making of "Apocalypse Now" Â»

Revealed: You say that people constantly come up to you in the street and say the line, 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning.'

RD: It is a pretty famous line. Everybody relates to that line. Scenes like that we had to get quickly because all that fire at the back of me was supposed to be the napalm. Sometimes when you work fast and under duress ... sometimes that's the best stuff you can get.

Revealed: How did your life change after "Apocalypse Now," and the "Godfather" films came out?

RD: It was kind of a landmark. I said we're in something pretty important here, as far as film goes and it was true, and I gained a lot of respect for Francis because I didn't know him that well on "The Rain People." It's Coppola's vision. It could have been made by Disney as long as he was directing it. Which one of Coppola's films would you put in a time capsule for future generations? Tell us below in the SoundOff box

Revealed: What is it about Coppola that makes him such a great director?

RD: A guy like Coppola, you know, as a director, he wants to see what you bring, without dictating. He's not a dictator. He has a definite vision, but he's not going to get in there and say it has to be my way or the highway. He really wants to see what you bring. He'll say, 'Come on guys quit fooling around we gotta make a movie!' You branch off into laughing and making jokes, but that's good for the set and he knows that too. It's his own gift and it's his own way of working.

Revealed: Coppola says now he wants to make small, intimate movies he has written himself. What's your take on that?

RD: He's a big spender. Now he's making all the wine and everything else, he can go back to independent film. Why not? He said "The Conversation" was his favorite film. It was certainly one of his best, I think. Why not go back to what he started out as? In the 1970s it was as if the independent filmmaking community was within the establishment. Now it's back outside the establishment starting to make the kind of films he started out doing.

Revealed: Can you describe Francis in a few words?

RD: A talented maniac. No, no, not a maniac, but he's a talented, driven guy. He's a heavy hitter.
