Hi guys! It's great to see you again. I'm your teacher Luke and in this English
lesson, you're going to learn lots of phrasal verbs you can use to talk about
money. This lessons gonna be so important for you because these phrasal verbs will
help you speak much more naturally about things like spending money, saving money,
and so much more. But before we start hit that LIKE button and subscribe to this
channel to get more English lessons just like this one. Okay, let's go so the first
one on this list is something I do a bit too much and it is 'splash out' 'splash out'.
For example, he splashed out on the most expensive bottle of champagne for the
party. So to splash out means to spend a lot of money on something expensive and
it's usually used when you buy something expensive that you don't actually need.
So like a big expensive bottle of champagne, for example. So how can we use
splash out correctly in sentences? Well splash out is an intransitive
phrasal verb that means you don't need an object with it. Instead, if you want to
add more information to your sentence you should use the preposition 'on'. Here
are some more examples. "He splashed outon a new and expensive car." "I wish I had
enough money to splash out on a holiday." Have you ever splashed out on something?
Let me know below in the comments. "Splashed out on a special bottle." "Wow, Dad really splashed out this time." The second on this list is a simple one but
one that's used all the time and it is 'save up' 'save up'. For example, I'm saving
up to buy a new car. To save up simply means to save your money, but when we use
save up we mean that we're saving for a specific purpose just like buying a new
car. To use save up correctly you should know that it is an intransitive phrasal
verb, so you don't need to use an object with it. You don't need to say I'm saving
up money because when we say' saving up' we already assume that you mean
money, so you don't need to use 'money'. It's often followed by the prepositions
'to' and 'for'. 'to' is used with verbs and 'for' is used with nouns. For example, "I'm saving up to
go to Bali." "I'm saving up for a new house." Are you saving up for anything at the
moment? Let me know below in the comments. "Saving up for something special?" "Saving up to get me some new wheels."
The next one on this list is 'cough up' 'cough up'. For example "he finally coughed up the
money he owed me" So to cough up means to give money or pay for something
especially when you would prefer not to. So, in my example I said he finally
coughed up the money he owed me. This means that that person didn't want to
give back the money to me, so I used the word 'cough up'. To 'cough up' is an
intransitive and a transitive phrasal verb so you can
say "he coughed up the money" or you can just say "he coughed up." Both are correct.
However, if you want to use the object 'the money' it must come after the
phrasal verb. So this is not a separable phrasal verb. So have a look at these
examples "I had to cough up for my daughter's
university tuition fees" "Come on cough up! It's your turn to pay."Cough it up Cooper"
"What are you talking about? Come on, cough it up.
And number four is 'skimp on' 'skimp on' For example "when you're making YouTube videos,
you shouldn't skimp on your microphone." So to skimp on simply means to not spend
enough money on something. Instead you don't spend enough money, and you try to
find the budget option. This is to 'skimp on' to 'skimp on' is a transitive phrasal
verb that means you must use an object with it. So you always skimp on something.
That 'something' is the object. And that object must come after the phrasal verb
so you always 'skimp on something' You should also know that this
is a very informal way of saying that you don't spend enough money on
something and it's much more common in British English it's not that common in
American English. When I was a student at university I always skimped on food. Even
though we were over budget for our wedding
we didn't skimp on the photographer. Do you ever skimp on anything? Let me know
below in the comments. And number five on this list is 'get by' 'get by'. For example,
my salary isn't much at the moment, but I get by. So to get by means to just have
enough money to be able to live and to survive. Tt has quite a negative meaning.
It basically means that you don't make much money at all but it's just enough.
So let's take a look at how to use this correctly. So to get by is an
intransitive phrasal verb that means it doesn't take an object. So if you want to
add more information you can by using the prepositions 'on' and 'with'. "I just
about get by on $1,000 a month" "I don't know how any family gets by with just
one salary these days." "We'll get by." "you can get by on your salary" Okay guys
