I disagree.
He bought a car he could afford at the time.
Times changed.
He did what he had to do, which was to sell the car.
He's not looking for a government handout.
He's not going on welfare.
He's not letting his kids go hungry.
He's not blaming other people.
He's taking responsibility for his own finances.
To me, that says that although things didn't work out exactly like he hoped, he's taking responsibility for his own life and finances and doing what he has to do without a whole lot of whining or expecting Obama to come save him. Personal responsibility is not about never taking risks. It's about taking responsibility for those risks if they don't work out, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and doing what you gotta do.
Sounds like he's doing exactly what he should be doing, and I don't really see anything to criticize.
