TODAY'S IDIOM: MADE OF MONEY

"MADE OF MONEY"



If you are made of money, you have lots of money.

Example: When I was in poor countries, everyone thought I was made of money because I could afford to take time off work and travel so far to their country

Nadar en dinero.

Example sentences:

  • That guy Howard acts as if he's made of money, but I know for a fact that he's actually quite poor / Ese tipo Howard actúa como si nadara en dinero, pero sé que es un hecho que en realidad es bastante pobre.

  • My daughter's Christmas list is four pages long; she must think we're made of money! / La lista de deseos de Navidad de mi hija tiene cuatro páginas, ¡debe creer que nadamos en dinero! 

Additional examples:

  • No, I can't lend you twenty pounds. I'm not made of money, you know.  

  • Bob asked if I could give him loan, and I said,"I'm not made of money, you know. Why don't you ask someone else for a loan?"
