Money Cliches

This page contains a list of common money-related cliches and sayings. It includes expressions like “another day another dollar”, “money doesn’t grow on trees”, and “a penny saved is a penny earned”. The page allows users to share images of the cliches on social media. It also features a quote about money at the bottom from Dana Gioia.

Overall, the page is collecting and presenting popular idioms and phrases related to earning, spending, and managing money.

Many money cliches originated from early trades and occupations. For example, “worth its weight in gold” referred to how valuable gold was historically. Over time, some cliches took on additional meanings or nuances.

For instance, “money doesn’t grow on trees” was originally just a statement of reality, but now sometimes suggests that one shouldn’t be frivolous with money.

In general, money cliches that involve farming, trades, or precious metals reflect how money was historically earned or valued.

Modern uses of these cliches don’t always retain the original literal meanings but still convey ideas about making, spending, or valuing money. The origins and meanings of some cliches have changed subtly over generations as economies and perspectives have changed.
