The Leaner Cleaner

Okay, here's a story that makes you appreciate making ends meet. This janitor who works for a casino would rather walk 35 miles a day to and from work rather than drive his car so he can save money on gas. Read this article from www.cmmonline.com.

Steve Simoff, a 61-year-old janitor at Lakeside Casino in Osceola, IA, doesn’t just spend time on his feet at work; he often walks 17.5 miles to and from his job each day.

While Simoff’s overnight shift at the casino begins at 11 p.m., he often leaves his home in Davis City, IA, by 3:30 p.m. to get to work on time—on foot, reports The Des Moines Register.

Simoff and his wife, Renee, have a car, but noted that gas money is tight. This often means that Simoff leaves the car in his driveway in favor of walking. He simply does what he can to help his household make ends meet.

 "First of all, when you got a family, and you've got a job," he told The Des Moines Register, "you've got to be able to support your family. And you've got to keep your job—the most two important things I can think of."
