Tiny ways to pay it forward

Transcript

A while back, I asked everyone if they had ideas on how retirees can sort of pay it forward and help make the lives of those still in the workforce a little better. And one of the great ideas I heard was we should stay home on the weekends and in the evenings whenever possible. Or maybe not stay home, but stay out of the stores, stay out of the places that get congested during the weekends and evenings because the people that are still working, that's the only time they can go to those places. I mean, the people that aren't working from home and whatnot. And I got to thinking about that and I thought, I'm pretty bad about that. Like, I'll run to wherever on a Saturday. I could go on a Tuesday at 10 a.m. I could go anytime I want. So I'm going to try and be a little more self-aware of when I'm going out and doing things so that I'm leaving a little bit of space for those that have to go out during those times. And, you know, to be clear, I'm not saying you should do this or you have to do this. I'm just saying if you're retired and you're trying to think of ways to help those that are in the busier time of their lives, it's one small thing you can do. Just, you know, maybe go for a walk instead of going to the store. Anyway, I thought it was a great suggestion. I've been trying it. I'll let you know if it's been too much of an impact on me. I don't think it will be.
