第 35 课:Money, Money, Money: Dinner Is on the House-2

I hate when I have to live on less money. It takes me longer to get back on my feet , or return to good financial health.

However, other people are on the gravy train. They get paid more money than their job is worth.

These people make a bundle. They really rake in the cash .

In fact, they make so much money that they can live high off the hog. They own the best of everything and live in great ease.

Sometimes they pay an arm and a leg for something.

Because money is no object to wealthy people, they will pay high prices for whatever they want.

Sometimes, they even pay through the nose. They pay too much for things.

I am not rich. I did not make a killing in the stock market when my stocks increased in value.
