Dale Schroeder was a man of simple means from Iowa, known for his lifelong dedication to work at the same company for 67 years and his ownership of just two pairs of jeans.
Living a profoundly frugal life, he managed to save an incredible $3 million. But instead of spending it on himself, Dale used his entire life savings to send 33 deserving students to college, ensuring they graduated debt-free—they lovingly call themselves “Dale’s kids.”
This wasn’t just a financial gift. This was a legacy of profound generosity that changed countless lives. It reminds us that the greatest riches are not what we accumulate, but what we give away with love and selflessness.
