GOLD DIGGER

Happy Thursday, everyone! Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you enjoyed your holiday yesterday, if you had the day off. 

Today we look at another colloquial expression that is quite common in conversation. 

Today's phrase is: GOLD DIGGER

Meaning: a person who forms a relationship with another person with the objective to extract money from them.

Example 1: Before their wedding, Mary asked Jim to sign a prenuptial agreement, because many of Mary's friends believed that Jim was a gold digger. However, they've been happily married for more than 20 years and together they have built up a lot of wealth over the years. 

Example 2: Watch out for Karen. I know that you like her, but I have the feeling that she is a gold digger. She's more interested in your money than she is in you as a person.
