Line 1:
{{trope}}
A [[Stock Phrase]], in response to a frequent event. The character will say something along the lines of, "'''If I had a nickel''' for every time X happened, I'd be rich." Expect "nickel" to be replaced with whatever currency appears in the work.
A common variant is for the character to simply trail off after the first part, eg: "If I had a nickel for every time X happened..." Additionally, this trope might be [[Played for Laughs]] by having the second part of the phrase add up to something impossible (for instance, getting $5.47 from nickels).
