Thats the problem i see with my grandchildren. They don't seem to understand that real money is the same as the money in their Venmo accounts.

Perhaps if the young man looked harder he would've found tons of quarters lying on the ground waiting to be picked up...problems could've been solved. Lesson: keep to the grindstone & pay off those creditors :-)

Perhaps if he caught the one rolling by he wouldn’t have passed the buck.

I am so old I recall buying a lot more with two quarters than you can today!

Can't even think of one thing you can buy with two quarters today. Can you? ... Thanks 'Old-Timer'
