When you're at bars and restaurants, tip like an insane person. If you can afford it, and if you're a retiree and you're looking for ways to pay it forward, this is a great one. This is something you can do multiple times a week. It doesn't take any physical effort. And if you have the money, you can afford it. Give them a little bit of money. So think about how much impact the little bit of money you're thinking about leaving for a tip will have on someone who has very little money. When Amy and I were young, we were TV shopping. We were like in our 20s and we were poor. And we could not find a TV we could afford. And we found a $50 bill in the parking lot. And I think we went in and told them we found them. We found them with money and told them to let us know. We didn't tell them how much, but we said, let us know if someone comes in and says they lost money. I want to think we did that. I think we did that. I'll have to ask Amy because she would remember. But anyway, that $50 bill allowed us to buy a TV. We would have either had to buy a terrible TV or no TV at all. And we ended up buying an okay TV because we found it. But it wasn't a lot of money even then. But that's how poor we were. And you look at these servers, like they don't, I mean, they would not be working at a restaurant, serving tables if they had a lot of money. So give them a big tip. I have a number that I always give. It doesn't matter how big the check is. Now, if the check's, you know, bigger, you know, if the percentages work out, I give more. But I have a number that I give regardless of what the check is because I always remind myself if I can't afford to tip that much, I probably shouldn't be eating out. This doesn't apply to those of you retirees or those of you people who can't afford to do it. That's okay. I understand that. But if you can afford it, give a little bit to those servers.
