00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:06.810
hi i'm rebecca from engvid in this lesson you're 
going to learn ten fun idioms that have to do with  

2
00:00:06.810 --> 00:00:15.480
money wealth and financial success okay let's get 
started so here are the first two they both start  

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:23.190
with two have so the first one is to have money 
to burn and the second one is to have deep pockets  

4
00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:31.320
now both of them have the idea that somebody 
hopefully you but somebody has lots of money  

5
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:39.030
in the first one to have money to burn it means 
that someone has so much money that they have a  

6
00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:45.479
lot of extra money and so much extra money that 
even if they burned it it wouldn't matter they  

7
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:51.449
would still have lots of money left so when you 
have money to burn it means you have a lot of  

8
00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:59.550
extra money and more money then you even actually 
need all right so that's to have money to burn and  

9
00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:06.209
the way you would use it in a sentence is they 
have money to burn he has money to burn and so  

10
00:01:06.209 --> 00:01:13.769
on okay so you just change this part of the verb 
all right this one to have deep pockets so what's  

11
00:01:13.770 --> 00:01:19.200
your pocket the pocket is like the part of your 
pants let's say where you put your cell phone or  

12
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.740
your wallet or something and if someone has deep 
pockets it means they have a lot of money okay  

13
00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:32.790
that's basically what it means okay he has deep 
pockets she has deep pockets it means they're  

14
00:01:32.790 --> 00:01:37.080
talking about money they're not talking about 
their clothes they're talking about the money  

15
00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:44.250
and it just means they have a lot of money all 
right the next one these two both start with to  

16
00:01:44.250 --> 00:01:53.610
be to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth or 
to be loaded same idea again we're talking about  

17
00:01:53.610 --> 00:01:59.490
somebody having a lot of money but from a slightly 
different perspective so here if we say that  

18
00:01:59.490 --> 00:02:05.820
someone she was born with a silver spoon in her 
mouth okay so you have to change it according to  

19
00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:13.510
who you're talking about or he was born with the 
silver spoon in his mouth it means that he or she  

20
00:02:13.510 --> 00:02:22.150
was born into a family that was already very rich 
and wealthy okay so they were born into a into a  

21
00:02:22.150 --> 00:02:29.020
home where there was lots of many lots of wealth 
lots of comfort okay and to some extent lay it can  

22
00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:36.220
also mean that that person may be when they grow 
up they didn't really do something to earn that  

23
00:02:36.220 --> 00:02:43.210
money or to become to be rich themselves but they 
were already born into that okay so the expression  

24
00:02:43.210 --> 00:02:49.150
is to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth 
it would be very interesting to know idioms from  

25
00:02:49.150 --> 00:02:54.459
your languages regarding money and maybe you can 
post some of those later in the comments okay I'm  

26
00:02:54.460 --> 00:03:01.060
not sure if you have one like this perhaps you 
do alright so this is kind of very informal if  

27
00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:08.860
you say that somebody's loaded he's loaded she's 
loaded it again refers to somebody who has a lot  

28
00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:15.910
of money it doesn't refer to a gun or a weapon it 
just is a sort of a slang expression to mean that  

29
00:03:15.910 --> 00:03:24.400
somebody has lots of money okay all right let's 
look at a few more so here's one well here are  

30
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:37.240
three that have similar meanings to make a bundle 
to strike gold and to hit the jackpot okay so  

31
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:45.130
these three all mean that somebody made a lot of 
money whereas here you weren't already born into  

32
00:03:45.130 --> 00:03:51.670
a situation where there was a lot of money these 
mean that somebody did something to make a lot of  

33
00:03:51.670 --> 00:03:59.560
money to make a bundle a bundle means like a lot 
of something and to make a bundle in this case is  

34
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:08.500
referring to a lot a bundle of money so to make a 
lot of money to strike gold also means you know in  

35
00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:13.780
the days when people were looking for gold and 
if they actually found it so that was obviously  

36
00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:21.520
a very happy occasion for them a happy time to 
strike gold means to do something either in a  

37
00:04:21.520 --> 00:04:27.570
business usually to do with work or business but 
it could be general sense it just means that you  

38
00:04:27.570 --> 00:04:34.710
you did something that earned a lot of money or 
became very successful okay so that's to strike  

39
00:04:34.710 --> 00:04:42.720
gold or to hit the jackpot again this is an idiom 
which comes from the world of casinos alright so  

40
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:49.080
when someone goes to a casino and plays you 
know on the slot machines or wherever there  

41
00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:54.990
they can win a little bit of money or they can win 
a lot of money and when you hit win a lot of money  

42
00:04:54.990 --> 00:05:01.800
that's called the jackpot okay the big money 
so when you hit the jackpot it means you won  

43
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:09.360
a lot of money or you were very very successful 
financially okay so for example this company hit  

44
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:14.940
the jackpot when they released their new product 
okay that means they were extremely successful  

45
00:05:14.940 --> 00:05:20.850
they made a lot of money from it so it doesn't 
only refer obviously to individuals can also  

46
00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:28.230
refer to companies and businesses and so on and 
it can also refer to finance not just financial  

47
00:05:28.230 --> 00:05:35.070
things but also life and social relationships you 
can say I hit the jackpot when I met my wife or a  

48
00:05:35.070 --> 00:05:45.480
man I met my husband okay so that means that they 
were very successful okay all right and now let's  

49
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:53.279
look at the last three here to look like a million 
bucks to feel like a million bucks or to be worth  

50
00:05:53.279 --> 00:06:00.539
a million bucks okay so the first one to look 
like a million bucks if you say to someone wow  

51
00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:06.270
you look like a million bucks today that means you 
look amazing you look great you look spectacular  

52
00:06:06.270 --> 00:06:14.490
Luke much you know much more fancier than usual 
and maybe the person is wearing a fancy new suit  

53
00:06:14.490 --> 00:06:20.610

is perhaps very expensive doesn't have to be that  

54
00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:26.879
the clothing is exactly expensive but the person 
looks like that so we just it's a way of saying  

55
00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:33.990
that they look great they look particularly great 
alright to look like a million bucks in the same  

56
00:06:33.990 --> 00:06:39.750
way when we say to feel like a million bucks well 
you know most people how would they feel if they  

57
00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:47.100
a million bucks well they feel pretty happy so 
this one means that you feel very happy okay I

is that's happening in your life that makes you  

60
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:03.300
excited okay and that's you can say I feel 
like a million bucks that was a little bit  

61
00:07:03.300 --> 00:07:09.150
down before but now I'm feeling like a million 
bucks feeling strong powerful great alright and  

62
00:07:09.150 --> 00:07:16.350
the last one here to be worth a million bucks so 
that's basically saying that something is very  

63
00:07:16.350 --> 00:07:22.650
valuable okay it's worth a million bucks it could 
be a business opportunity could be spending time  

64
00:07:22.650 --> 00:07:28.320
with your family spending time with my family's 
worth a million bucks to me so there it doesn't  

65
00:07:28.320 --> 00:07:35.430
mean financially but it's just the concept that 
a million bucks or a million dollars which you  

66
00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:42.570
can also say for each of these expressions is 
sum is representative of something that is very  

67
00:07:42.570 --> 00:07:48.839
valuable okay so you could be could say that 
spending time with my family or spending time  

68
00:07:48.840 --> 00:07:55.020
