We just visited our granddaughter and grandson in law at their new house yesterday. We took them two old rockers and an old outdoor side table from the beach house to use on their porch.
He just got out 82nd Airborne this past year and they have been living with his mom and saving their money. They are both 24. She is a big thrifter and takes things that other people throw away, repurposes or refurbishes and uses them to decorate, use, wear or sell on Instagram or Facebook marketplace. Our grandson in law is very frugal. They save just about everything they make. He saved something like $30k while he was in the military for 6 years. They both drive older used cars and are furnishing their entire house with free and used stuff.
They just told us yesterday they are going to try to have a baby now that they are settled into their home. Which means I'm going to be a great grandfather here soon, God willing. I'm pretty stoked about that.
Young people like that give me hope for the future.
I know several young adults like this and it's encouraging to see their willingness to sacrifice in order to secure a promising future for themselves in this economy. Kuddos to them and I know you're proud of them.
