If their kids are anything like me they’ll learn from this experience and never come close to repeating it themselves. This story sounds a lot like what my parents did only the gas was off for MUCH longer and no one felt sorry for any of us enough to write a story whining about it. It just wasn’t en vogue then and there was no such thing as a loan modification program. There was no “thinking” about selling the cars; they were repo’ed along with many other things and things that were owned were auctioned off. We used to just hold people to the terms of their mortgage agreement and not write sob stories about when they broke their contract.
