Talking about Money and Wealth - English Vocabulary with Jennifer

[@zackwang468]

Hi, Jennifer, I watched your video and did the following practice: We can make big bucks. So we can know where our next meal is coming from. We do not have to make ends meet and scrape by, and we do not live from paycheck to paycheck. We are financially comfortable even filthy rich, not dirt poor. Furthermore, we can be philanthropists and do lots of philanthropic activities and philanthropy. Someone may say we are fabulously rich or living a life of luxury. However, we have money to spare and make a living. Being fairly well-off and paying the bills, not extremely well-off, not crazy rich. We won't be broke if we use money smartly. Thanks for your video!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

I like your ending. Let's be wise with our money, right? Some suggestions: We can make big bucks. If we earn a decent living, we know where our next meal is coming from. We do not simply have to make ends meet and scrape by. Instead of living from paycheck to paycheck, we can be financially comfortable. In fact, a few of use may even be filthy rich, not dirt poor. Furthermore, we can be philanthropists and do lots of philanthropic activities and philanthropy. Someone may say we are fabulously rich or living a life of luxury. While it is true we may have money to spare and make a good living, it still requires work. Being fairly well-off and paying the bills is what what most want to achieve. We do not need to be extremely well-off, not crazy rich. We won't be broke if we use money wisely (OR if we are smart with our money).

Hi Jennifer. Thank you so much for this great lesson. Well personally I think I live from paycheck to paycheck I'm not fabulously rich but hopefully I'll be financially comfortable one day and I hope everybody is well-off to enjoy their life.🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Glad you liked the lesson. I agree that it's more realistic and probably healthier in some ways to simply be financially comfortable than fabulously rich. Many can't handle the responsibility of great wealth -- though some of us think, "Well, I'd sure like the chance to try!" I think in wishing others well, we're setting ourselves up for happiness, so keep up the positive attitude! Thanks for watching.

Hello Jennifer! Thank you for sharing this useful vocabulary with us! I would say I don't want to be filthy rich but, I would certainly want to be rich enough to live my life with dignity. Take care!

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Yeah, "filthy rich" isn't my aspiration either. I think there's a way to gain some wealth and still have integrity and compassion for others. Living with a sense of dignity is important. It may be harder without money, but I think dignity comes from within. What do you think?

[@hilalahmad7286]

@@Englishwithjennifer @English with Jennifer Absolutely! I think there's no harm in being rich but, once we are rich, we should not get lost in its comforts. There's nothing like being compassionate and helpful in this transient world.

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for sharing this useful lesson. Well, I'm financially comfortable and in future I'm gonna make big bucks, Godwilling.

[@lyudmyla9115]

Thank you for this lesson! I would say I wanna earn more money to become financially comfortble but first of all I wanna resign my job cause i didn't enjoy it and find a job that will make me contented and bring more money :)

[@Englishwithjennifer]

That's the dream many of us share -- to be very financially comfortable and not stress so much about money concerns. It's helped me to express gratitude for what I have, even if the situation seems precarious as times. It's possible to find joy in the moment and in the day. I hope you find that job you seek!

[@whocares8025]

Hi Jennifer. I hope you're doing well. Would you mind considering making a video on 'Participle Clauses', please? Thank you.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Hi. Do you mean reduced clauses with participial phrases? I have lessons on reduced adverb and adjective clauses.

[@jooryalhamed938]

Thank you Jennifer. This video is really helpful and rich. I learned new vocabulary today.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

I'm happy to hear that. We can be wealthy in words. :)

Thanks a lot, Jennifer! The topic is so interesting! In my personal opinion, any amount of money is not enough:)

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Ha ha. Money can be dangerous that way. Right? When is it ever enough? I really do recommend Ken Honda's teachings. I'm taking a video course of his right now called Money EQ. There's a free video on KZbin about "happy money." That has a lot wisdom. Take care.

[@sergeipetrov5572]

@@Englishwithjennifer Thank you, Jennifer! I'll watch the video recommended by you. I just liked your lesson a lot, and my replica was a simply joke.

[@Klavierk]

Hi, those movie clips help a lot to understand the meaning of the phrases and it must be a lot of work to put them together, so I wonder how do you get to the right examples inside the movie and where do you get all those clips?

[@Englishwithjennifer]

I'm glad you liked their inclusion. Hopefully, my use is seen as fair and acceptable use for educational purposes! There are sites that compile clips. It takes a bit of searching, but I can usually find a few seconds to illustrate the words in context.

Jennifer ,my dear ,I've got so content when I see how much your wonderful job got to the top . You were my first inspiration to have a channel . Maybe you don't remember now but more than a year ago you motivated me to keep doing this when I asked you about having a channel about Reading .I keep working in this although not monetized yet but I have faith in the process . Thanks and Congratulation for your 1M subscribers .

[@Englishwithjennifer]

It all takes patience, persistence, and a vision. Please consider reading my book. I tried to collect very honest reflections about my 15 years on KZbin. :) www.amazon.com/Being-KZbinr-Creators-Bumpy-Subscribers-ebook/dp/B0BMGMRS8V/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2YK46A02IB52C&keywords=being+a+youtuber&qid=1669397943&sprefix=being+a+youtuber%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-1 Thank you for your good wishes.

Super lesson. Impoverished and affluent are good alternatives for poor and rich. One may also say this: He's stinking rich. She's rolling in it. They're living the high life. He's on his uppers. She's on her backside. They don't have two bent pennies to rub together. I don't have a pot to pee in. I'm brassic! (Colloquialism) He's skint. We're in the red.

[@Englishwithjennifer]

Yes, I've heard "stinking rich" before. That one definitely has a touch of negativity to it. "Rolling in it" sounds excessive for sure. I've heard about "living the high life," but I think it goes beyond money sometimes. The others may be more common in the UK. So many colorful ways to talk about wealth. Thanks for sharing!

I read that he's made charitable donations, so he's definitely a philanthropist.

Money was tight during the covied period of time, we hardly ate out.

Yes, many experienced a drop in their earnings at that time. Suggestions: Money was tight during COVID (or during the pandemic). We hardly ate out.

Indeed. Everyone deserves respect. Suggestion: She is a dirt poor, but it doesn't mean you've got the right to humiliate her all the time. OR Just because she is a dirt poor doesn't mean you've got the right to humiliate her all the time.
