Life Lesson #1: Always Carry Cash

Cash is king. There are many cash only situations a person may find oneself in. Sometimes cash is the only way to accomplish a particular goal. This does not mean "only carry cash." In order to be in compliance with the Life Lesson, $20 is necessary. However, more may be appropriate. In addition, plan ahead. If an expenditure is expected, make sure to bring more cash. Further, smaller bills are more useful than larger ones (aka The "Gaggin Corollary"). Ex: Making a "clean break" at a restaurant and not waiting to sign a credit card receipt.
