So you think you’ve had a rough couple of years? Try comparing your recession story to the one belonging to Willie Aames, the once-flush ‘Charles in Charge’ actor who squandered his money, couldn’t find a job, went bankrupt, lost his house and witnessed the total collapse of his family. But Aames, 49, blames only himself for his downward spiral from curly-haired hearthrob on ‘Eight Is Enough’ to the short-fused grump on ‘Celebrity Fit Club’ a few years back. “It’s me,” he tells PopEater. “I did it to myself.”
Aames resides in Olathe, Kansas, outside Kansas City. By March, years of living beyond his means had led the former TV star into poverty. “No heat, no food, no car, no water, no phone, no nothing,” he says. “There’s no question that was the lowest point of my life.” When you’re broke and famous, what better way to help lift yourself up than a TV special? ‘Broke and Famous: Willie Aames’ (airing Thursday night on VH1) was that opportunity. Life coach Sarano Kelley spent seven days giving Aames a wake-up call to get him back on track financially. In the show, Kelley succeeds in getting Aames cash flow (yard sale), a job (woodworking) and a renewed relationship with his estranged daughter. Full interview after the jump.

To be a upright human being is to from a kind of openness to the far-out, an cleverness to trust aleatory things beyond your own control, that can front you to be shattered in unequivocally extreme circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly important with the fettle of the ethical life: that it is based on a conviction in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a weed than like a treasure, something somewhat tenuous, but whose mere precise beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
