English Idiom: Make ends meet
Many people suffer a lot of headaches as they try to make ends meet.
Some people have been very successful in life, and the only thing they have to worry about is tall poppy syndrome.
Whether they became successful by currying favour or working hard or a combination of both is not the point.
The point is, successful people probably do not have a lot of trouble earning money and making payments on their stuff.
For the rest of us, however, it’s a constant struggle to keep our heads above water.
If you’re lucky and you can make ends meet you earn enough money to pay all of your daily expenses. You might even have enough left over for a beer or a nice restaurant meal at the end of the week.
Quite often, this expression is used in a negative sense.
Mostly, the people who talk about the difficulty of earning enough money to pay all the bills are the ones who are unable to do so.
I sincerely hope that you do not have trouble making ends meet.
