One day, Adam got a job in which he hung baby clothes on clothes hangers at a department store that would open soon. He and the other workers got no lunch and were thrown out of the store when the manager thought they had been stealing. They stole nothing. Adam took some sandwiches with him when he left. He feels more free to say what he wants and act how he wants than he ever has before. He has no good or bad reputation to uphold. As he and his friends are waiting for their ride back to Crisis Ministries, Adam decides that he and his friend Marco will move out of Crisis Ministries soon and get their own apartment together. Adam realizes that if they want to stay out of the shelter, he and Marco must learn to budget and spend their money with frugality. This implies that Adam recognizes the importance of being thrifty and saving money. In order to get an apartment, he must save up his money instead of blowing it all as soon as he earns it. When he gets his money for the day, he receives a mere $14. He worked all day for less than minimum wage. He is disappointed that he worked so hard, but he knows he must save it and work just as hard the next day.
