'Make ends meet' -> nghĩa là kiếm đủ sống, đủ chi trả những nhu cầu trong cuộc sống. Từ ends ám chỉ tổng thu chi, nhưng theo bác sĩ hải quân và là tiểu thuyết gia Tobias Smollett, từ ends liên quan tới việc nối, bện hai đầu dây (ends) của dây thừng trên thuyền để tiết kiệm chi phí.

Ví dụ
The proposed new rule from the USDA is just the latest Trump administration attack on hard-working American families trying to make ends meet and could take food out of the mouths of 3 million Americans

Many of these hardships (khó khăn) were detailed in a 2017 report by the Pennsylvania Economy League, which called for legislators to give municipalities (tự trị) more flexibility in levying (thu) fees and taxes to make ends meet.

According to the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, smaller farms in the Palmetto State are turning to agritourism (du lịch nông nghiệp) to make ends meet. They say more than 400 farms offer some form of agritourism, ranging from corn mazes, goat yoga, educational tours and everything in between.
