At Age 51 Moving Back in with the Parents

Tony Tolbert (photo), a 51-year-old lawyer from Los Angeles and UCLA law school graduate, proves you don't have to be a millionaire to make a huge difference. Last week, Tolbert began lending his house to a formerly homeless family for a year while he moves back in with his parents.

Tolbert's story was profiled on "CBS This Morning." The Harvard-educated attorney explained that he was inspired by his father's generosity when he was younger. As a boy, Tolbert's father frequently let strangers with no place to go stay in their house. Years later, Tolbert decided to expand on the idea.

 
Tolbert believes that, in his words, "Kindness creates kindness. Generosity creates generosity. Love creates love. And if we can share some of that and have more stories about people doing nice things for other people and fewer stories about people doing horrible things to other people, that's a better world."
