English Idiom: In the money
The first idiom of my publishing week will be a good one.
We all want to be wealthy, right?
We all want to be able to open our wallets and see $100 notes or ¥10,000 notes if you prefer Japanese bills.
If you can do that, then you’re in the money.
That’s right, to be in the money means to be wealthy.
That’s why people purchase lottery tickets, desire a promotion or hope to marry money.
Being wealthy seems to make life that much easier.
So, everybody, I hope you find yourself in the money soon.
By the way, if you do, don’t be a stranger, give me a call and we’ll go to lunch. You treat, of course.
