11 PHRASAL VERBS for talking about MONEY in English

Today I'm going to show you the money! You're going to learn useful phrasal verbs we use in English to talk about money. Most of us love having money and hate spending it. Regardless of how you feel, money plays an important role in all our lives. I chose to teach you some of the most common phrasal verbs we use to talk about saving money, spending money, paying off debt, and using your savings. You'll learn how to speak naturally about money by using these expressions. Know it all? Test yourself with the quiz at:

TRANSCRIPT
Money, money, money is so funny in a rich man's world. Vanity Fair. I'm not a rich man, so I can't afford half of the things in here. Speaking of which, we're talking about money, and in this lesson what I want to do is teach you a bunch of phrasal verbs that we use to talk about spending money, saving money, and paying back debts that we use quite commonly. And I'm going to teach you how to use them, and what they are, and have some fun with you. Are you ready? Let's go to the board. Okay?
E, it's not funny, I got no money. E is all, see? Got dollar signs for eyes. You might see that. If you're having a problem, take your screen and enlarge it to full screen, there's a little button. And we actually have a video on that, go check that out if you don't know how to use your KZbin. Okay? Anyway, E's got his eyes... He's got dollar signs for eyes, because he's got money in his hand. And if you're lucky, you have money, too; but when you don't have money, well, it's time to learn some phrases to help you with that. Okay?
So, here's our dollar sign, here, and let's start with having money or saving it. Okay? If you're lucky... Well, let's start with just having enough. A lot of people just have enough money. And how do we talk about that in English? Well, what you can say is this: "I'm getting by". "Getting by" means I don't have a lot of money, and I'm surviving. So I can't go on big trips or do anything, but I'm not poor and I don't have zero money, but I have enough to get my food, and pay my rent or my homestay, and pay some other things for me, maybe my cellphone and my internet, but nothing special; no car, no fancy trips, no bling, bling, bling or great jewellery. You know what I mean? So, that's "getting by". It's kind of positive because it means I'm not bad, but it's not fantastic, like: "I'm rich!" Okay?
Let's talk about "scrape by", because this is have just enough. When you're scraping by, imagine you have this thing here-okay?-and this thing. And there's gum on here, and you want to get the gum off, you're going to... That's called scraping. And when you scrape, sometimes you'll take a little bit of the paper off with it, just a little bit, when you scrape. In Canada, we have winter, and when we have ice on our windows, we scrape the ice to get rid of it. It's a lot of work, it's not lots of fun. You probably understand the phrasal verb now, right? When you're scraping by, you just have enough money. But unlike "getting by", because notice how we have "get", we have you're getting something, you're given something, which is good, you're getting money, that's why you get by; 'scraping" by means just a little bit. Just enough. And you feel negative. You don't feel good when you're scraping by. Every day is heavy and hard, because you almost don't have enough money to pay for everything. Sorry. You need a job or a better one. Okay.
So, what happens? How do we change this, "scraping by"? Why don't we do something like this, why don't we save some money? In English, we have two phrasal verbs you can use for saving money. Notice the up sign: "to save up". When you save up money... Think of it this way: Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. You increase your money. You usually save your money up for something big, like a car, a vacation, retirement. And retirement is when you stop working forever. You're older, 65-70, you finish work and you don't want to work again, you want to play golf, or go baseball, go sailing. You retire. So, you save up. These are for big purchases. So, it won't be $100. It'll be $1,000, $10,000, a million dollars. A million dollars. [Laughs] Okay.
We have another one for saving, though, and we call it: "put aside". You might have difficulty because probably you've never heard of "aside". This is my side, this is on the other side. Okay? So when we say "aside", it's like here, on the side. On the side is "aside". Okay? Sometimes we speak and say: "I want to make an aside", which means I'm going to give you a direct conversation, but I want to say something a little off to the side.

This teacher has good social skills and psychology, and at the same time he explains perfectly and maintains you attached to the lesson by being funny. I think he is unique

This is Jean Zamudio again my main. thing I needed from you please will you give. the teaching on assertive communication and shoot out some true. positive. internalizing life skill .and examples of the roll play so we can be comfortable to practice on our. own thank you

[@bslday]

My question seems to be a little beyond the overall context of the lesson but nevertheless allow me please to ask it:) The 2nd part of the last sentence of the test: ", so the next week he had to get by $20,00 a day" I'd like to make out why we used here "had" but not "will have"? Is this according to some rule of so called sequence of tense? Thanks a lot in advance!

[@dilnozaurinbaeva4252]

Thank you mr.james your lessons are so clear and easy to understand and there are a lot of information in shot video ❤️❤️

[@fernandohbranco1]

Congratulation, man! I can totally tell you that your videos are all very useful. I don't know if you'll like the idea, but is it possible to make a lesson related to engineering? I mean, It would be like a lesson with some technical therms. Anyway, if you don't make a lesson like that, could you suggest a website or even a KZbin Channel that I can learn it?

[@skillabration-school]

If I knew the terminology I would do a video on it, but I don't know it.

[@fernandohbranco1]

+Nikki Lubing do you know a any KZbin channel which teaches engineering vocabulary? You know, technical terms and stuff. And thanks for replying, haha ; )

[@mcmerry2846]

Best teacher ever, would enjoy any signature with a teacher like James.

[@ngophanhongnhan2390]

[@edilsonlobo3074]

Awesome video James. Slam dunk! You really hit out of the park with this killer video. Now it just put them into practice, especially when it comes to saving up. Way to go! Hugs

[@ritalahlou1620]

I have to hand it to you james I have learned a-lot from your Esl videos, they have been very helpful to workout my daily english, it has enriched my vocabulary and encourages me to go further in the conversation

[@oscarceballos6858]

Thanks teacher James for your video. It is quite interesting and important. Just a humble feedback: It is a little difficult to read letters in green over white surface, also phrases that are not in horizontal line are difficult to read because I have to swing my head up and down to understand what you are trying to express.

[@edgarvalenciaagudelo5248]

You are excellent teacher. His classes are fun and help me a lot to improve my english. Greetings from Colombia (South America)

[@monicastringaro637]

I'm sorry but I'm not the best person to ask as I'm Italian and I'm still studying English, just like you. Bye.

[@KHRAJU123]

Homie English is simple it is an easy language, the thing you need to know where to start it is kinda like maths, you start of by learning numbers then you use knowledge of number and use it to do more advanced stuff like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division then you use this knowledge to do even more advanced stuff like calculus and trigonometry ( those two are annoying af) learning a language is kinda like that you learn alphabet then you learn how to form words then sentences, after that paragraphs and then lo and behold you can speak fluent English it is as easy as 123

great teacher, good lesson, good explaination. english it's hard hard to understand from native spanish speakers mr James is great if you have advance english skills knowleges because all the students must forget theirs back teacher that used spanish fonetic or slower speech in every lesson you heard folks.

[@ewelinajiao1906]

MY NOTES: Spending money: Do I have to cough up another 10 bucks? I don't want to shell out my money We don't like giving money away I have to dip in to my savings cos my car broke out yesterday I took out some of the money and left the rest to dip into your savings - when take some money out and leave the rest to break into your savings - you have to keep going into your savings and keep talking money out and soon the savings will disappear, until the money goes down I borrowed a $1,000 and I am paying back $100 a week to pay back your debts to pay off a debt - I don't have to give the bank any more money Not have you just learned 11 phrasal verbs, you know how to use them Just to test you on that, we r gonna give you a short test and see how well you learned

Hi +jamesESL do you have any video that shows something about "searching for work words" ??

Good lesson. Some phrase I check in dictionary is not means you said, I think it is one of US culture like as dialect or common words that I did not see it before. By the way, I just learn the news that the contradiction between police and blackman is arising In usa(especially Dallas) everyday, just watch out your safety.

[@skillabration-school]

Phrasal verbs are not typically in the dictionary. You ca. Search their meaning online though. Come check out my English videos too, please.
