This saying has nothing to do with the expression we use in Spanish. Our famous “Llegar a fin de mes” becomes in English “To make ends meet”. If we are capable of making ends meet, it means that we have enough money to pay for our basic expenses or that we earn and spend equal amounts of money. Here are some examples:
- “When we undergo an economic crisis, it is difficult to make ends meet“.
- “To make ends meet, he must work overtime”.
