don rogers realtor: Monday Motivation…What's a Nickel worth?

Seeing that my grandfather could have been considered quite opinionated at times there weren’t many things that were worth a dime. Then I found this quote by Yogi Berra and it so fits today’s economy: “A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.” Yogi Berra I haven’t gone back … (6 comments)
