I know you didn’t ask for my two cents, but I will tell you anyway that I find figures of speech fascinating. The things we say without thinking say a lot about what we think, and a lot of the most common idioms are about money. For instance, why do we stretch a dollar but pinch a penny? Does that language suggest that those who are stretching their dollars are frugal, but those who worry about pennies are so mean that they have to pinch them?

Sometimes people and business ventures are described in monetary figures – For example, Suzie Q’s work is as good as gold, but even if it weren’t her business would still be a cash cow. When her accountant, who is worth his weight in gold, looks at the bottom line and tells her that she’s in the black (not in the red), even before Black Friday, she’ll know that she’ll be able to make ends meet (the ends of the lists of figures, that is – the income and expenses.) If the accountant is a gambling man, he might put his money where his mouth is and bet his bottom dollar that she will be a success. When all the chips are down, he will surely be able to cash in on his involvement with her business.

Those who believe that money is power will tell you that when money talks, people walk. Money changes everything, so if you grease a few palms with some dead presidents, you might find that those officials are oiled well enough to be bought and paid for. But if you believe in using the almighty dollar to get what you want, you will still find that money can’t buy you love.

Money doesn’t grow on trees, of course, so how do we earn it? ...
