Welcome to English in a Minute. Pockets are super useful.
They can hold things like money.
But how does money burn a hole in your pocket? Let's listen. Guess what, Ana?
I won $500 last week. That's great, Dan.
Remember to save some of it. I spent it. What? All of it?
I thought money was burning a hole in my pocket.
Oh, Dan, that is why you never have money.
This expression is about one thing. Money.
If someone says money is burning a hole in their pocket, it means they want to spend it right away.
Some people, like Dan, have a hard time saving money instead of spending it.
And that's English in a Minute.
