He Has Money to Burn

17 December, 2018 By Susana Ríos Leave a Comment

When we say that someone has money to burn, we mean that they have more money than they need and so spend it freely and often unnecessarily.

  • He bought that expensive car because he has money to burn.

‘Be made of money’ is another idiom we use to mean that someone has a lot of money, but normally, we use it in the negative as a denial to a request for one to lend money to or purchase something for someone.

  • My son’s birthday list is four pages long; he must think we’re made of money!
