Is it normal to feel guilty about kicking out a foreclosure family?

I saw them sleeping in a car, parents with a toddler and baby. I paid a fair price for the property should I feel bad about evicting them? Why do they have kids in the first place if they can't even shelter or feed them?

    A number of reasons, sometimes just bad luck. Lay offs, medical problem, a loved one falls ill and needs help so you take off work and lose your job etc.

    But are you responsible, no. They would eventually go, because someone else would buy it anyways for one thing. I mean I doubt you were the only person that would be interested in property.

    It is nice to care and not look the other way. But you also may be surprised. They are indeed lucky to have a car, and more importantly each other.

    Being homeless in a western country you still enjoy a better quality of life than the majority of the world. Unlimited free clean drinking water, access to medical care, this car, a variety of social programs, political stability, minimum wage etc.
    The dollar is so strong compared to here in Asia.

    I think it is possible to have empathy, without pity or guilt or fear. And I'm sure they understand they could not keep a house they dont pay for.

    Money is really confusing. And still not something we understand emotionally, I don't know if we ever will.

    Maybe you can volunteer at a shelter or something if you want to have involvement in the lives of houseless people, or something like this.
