Money doesn't grow on trees

[요셉]

Money doesn't grow on trees : You use this proverb to tell someone that he/she shouldn't waste money or there is not enough money to buy something expensive.

(돈은 나무에서 열리게 아니야! 돈을 너무 쉽게 쓰는 사람에게 또는 물건을 사야하는데 돈이 없는 경우 사용)

If someone says, "Money doesn't grow on trees," he/she means that it is not easy to earn money, so it is valuable, and you have only a limited amount of money. You should be careful how much money you spend.

A: "Mom, can I buy a new dress?"

    ( 엄마 새 드레스 사면 안돼?)
B: "We can't afford one now. Money doesn't grow on trees."

    (지금 살 여유가 없다. 돈은 나무에서 열리는게 아니거든)

* Our lab computers are getting old, but we can't afford to buy new ones this semester. Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.

    ( 실험실에 있는 컴퓨터가 낡았지만 이번 학기에서는 새것으로 살 여구가 없다. 돈은 나무에서 열리는게 아니거든)

* You sepd too much - money doesn't grow on trees, you know.

    (넌 돈을 너무 많이 써. 돈은 나무에서 열리는 게 아냐, 알아.

Have a nice day!

It's seems that our young generation including my sons spend money like water. I guess they don't know the value of money.
