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.
