English Proverb: Money doesn’t grow on trees
This proverb is a very useful idiom to use with your children.
Why?
Because it is true.
When your almost adult child asks you to buy them their first car, you should respond with money doesn’t grow on trees.
It just means that you do not have enough money to purchase a car for them or that money is hard to come by.
Saying money doesn’t grow on trees, is an easy way to explain that it’s hard to earn money, that it is valuable and that it should not be wasted.
