- lotharbot 15y agoAfter grad school, my wife took a short-term minimum wage job in a thrift store. One of her coworkers, who had been there for years, was an older lady from India who (along with her husband) owned several houses and factories, after a life of thrift and savings and careful investment. She sorted thrift store donations because she liked it.
