Having Quarters

This is the one piece of advice that I actually, and frequently, nearly constantly, give to people.

It's good to have quarters.

Any time you see a quarter lying around, pick it up and put it in your pocket. It's good to have quarters.

You never know when you're going to need some quarters.

You know how I learned this?

In a dream.

It's true. I had a dream that I was finding quarters lying around, and I kept putting them in my pockets, and in the dream I kept saying to everyone, "It's good to have quarters."

When I woke up that morning, I realized how true it was. I repeated it out loud to myself, and started collecting quarters in my pockets.

Two days later, I ran into a situation where I needed quarters. And I had some.

It's good to have quarters.
