Expression: Throw Good Money after Bad

Today’s post is the last money-related idiom for a while.


Today’s idiom throw good money after bad means to continue to waste money after you have already lost money on the same thing.

Over the last few days, we have had many different ones.

I hope that you enjoyed reading my posts and that you learned something.
