Following my listening lesson on money, I thought I’d give you some extra, more advanced vocabulary, on the topic of money. I have written the meanings of some common phrasal verbs used when we talk about money. Can you decide which phrasal verb belongs in each sentence?
Get by - to have just enough money for what you need in life.
Pay back - to return money that you owe.
Save up - to keep money to achieve a certain goal e.g. buying a house.
Splash out on - to spend freely on something without worrying about it.
Chip in - to contribute some money with other people.
Cut back - to spend less money generally
To rip someone off - to charge someone too much money for something.
