| Meat sounds better than Meet |
Some people thought when I taught this idiom to them that it was somehow related to a nice juicy steak. Well meat is spelt meat, not meet.
Or some people thought to make ends meet meant to make enough to earn a piece of meat if that makes sense. Well with inflation the way it is today, this would be an accurate case. Making ends means the ability to just survive financially.
Where did I see this idiom lately? On a CNBC video about the costs of raising children. Well if you can't make ends meet, then you can't afford to raise children in general. You would have to rely on tax credits, food stamps and the three musketeers. Maybe those people complaining in the video should stay clear out of San Francisco, and run like a rabbit.
Here is the quote from the video:
In this country, we don't have comprehensive policies and so that means we are working with piecemeal programs to try to help people make ends meet.

| You have to be making at least six figures to live here. |
In San Francisco, don't leave your bike alone, it will be stolen and you won't even know about it. A lot of people live in Recreational Vehicles, and they don't have bad salaries either. It's just too darn expensive. Why is day care the cost of Stanford tuition?
Also, look at the drugs, and homelessness that plagues that city, I'd be moving to Texas where all of the cowboys are. Or maybe to Alaska where I can find the gold rush, and bears too. It's just a joke of course.
So remember, the next time you have a hard time paying the bills, or you can't afford rent, just tell them I can't make ends meet, could you pay my bills for me?
