One of the questions I get most often on my channel is, what can I do as a retiree to help those that are still coming up? And I've posted a few ideas. I actually have a playlist for you if you look under my playlists. But I discovered one today by accident. I had signed up for Costco, I don't know, a week or so ago. It was no intention of actually going there because they're like 45 minutes from my house. Amy went online and looked and she saw a couple of items she thought we might actually like. So I thought, I'll make the trek out there and just see what the place is like. Actually get a card, be a card carrying Costco member, as it were. So I went out and I started noticing how inexpensive everything was. And I thought, well, that's weird because I thought I had read that they pay their people better than, you know, most other retailers. So I looked it up and they do. As of January of this year, they pay their entry level employees 20 bucks an hour, which is significant. They pay more than their competitors are paying and their prices are lower. So it's very weird, but it's a really nice way to give back to those that are still coming up. If you're a retiree, just go shop at Costco. You're buying products at a better price and you're helping to support people who want to earn a living wage in the retail space. So if you want to help those that are coming up, get yourself a Costco card. And if you're a retiree, just go shop at Costco.
