I mostly find it sad that everyone seems to think it is so super fantastically amazing. I want to give the guy a handshake, a simple "nice work", and a bike if he wants. At his salary he can buy a cheap car and start to get his life back in shape soon enough, it just takes time. But he obviously hasn't been doing everything right his whole life, or he wouldn't be in his current situation. Not that I wish him any ill will, but it doesn't make him a saint to not be able to afford a car, and to have to walk that far. He is just doing the right thing now, and for that his should be congraduated. The problem I see is that not enough others have this attitude, he shouldn't be such an exception...
