Real estate market got you down? Some realtor rope you into buying more house than you can afford? Have you staved off one foreclosure from the sheriff, but don’t think you can stomach another? Then call Shaq. Yes, that one (same guy who helps fat kids lose weight).

“I want to come in not to kick them out, but to work with them and save them so they can stay in their homes,” O’Neal told the Orlando Sentinel during an impromptu stop Tuesday at Orlando City Hall.

Among the pearls of wisdom Shaq will offer over-extended homeowners:
* Buy this book, and document every dollar you spend
* Learn how to tell your kids “no”
* No dinners out or ordering in for one month - only grocery shopping and cooking at home
