MONEY EXPRESSIONS: TO EARN MONEY: meaning and examples
Good morning everyone. I hope you had a nice weekend.
Over the years we have done several Daily Vitamins about expressions related to money. You can see them at the following link.

This week we are going to learn four more money expressions. These were suggested by our Office Manager, Judit. Thanks Judit!
Today's money expression is: to earn money
Meaning 1: to get money for work that you do.
Example 1:
He earns over two-hundred thousand euros per year, but he's miserable. He's working around sixty hours per week and he rarely sees his family.
Meaning 2: to get money as profit or interest from an investment.
Example 2:
Instead of keeping your money in the bank, why don't you invest in the stock market? You would earn a lot more interest.
NOTE: notice that we do NOT say to **win money**, a common mistake for Spanish-speaking students of English.
Have a great day everyone!
