Don't spend your money like a drunken sailor.

Today’s English
September 16th, 2017

What can you do in this world if your purse is empty.  You say good bye to most of the worries just with a pregnant purse.  This is what we say in English by “ a heavy purse makes a light heart.” The opposite, “a light purse makes is a heavy heart” is also true.
1. After getting government job, he has never run short of money. Yes, a heavy purse makes a light heart.
2. First find a secured job somewhere so that your can answer all your commitments. Don't you know that a heavy purse makes a light heart ?
3. How can you make settlements in life if you spend money like this. Remember that a light purse makes a heavy heart.

If you are a good fund manager of your family and accounts everything that is spent, then it means that you “tighten your purse strings”.  If you are so liberal and spend money like water, you “loosen your purse strings.”  The person who is in charge of money in business or family is the one who “controls the purse strings.”

1. He always tightens his purse strings and never borrows money from others.
2. Loosen your purse strings and you will have more enjoyments and friends in life.
3. Who controls purse strings in your family -you or your wife?

If you spend like a sailor (on the shore) or spend like a drunken sailor, it means that you are spending money extravagantly, excessively and wastefully.  If you pay a huge amount of money to buy something, it is said in English that you pay “king's random.”

1. I'm ready to pay even a king's ransom to buy a gift for her.
2. Are you mad? Why did you spend like a drunken sailor all your money?
3. Whatever the function is, he spends like a sailor on the shore.

“He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses much more; He who loses faith, loses all.”
