'Live beyond (one's) means' = sống vượt quá điều kiện -> chi tiêu hoặc nợ vượt quá khả năng kiếm được hay chi trả
Ví dụ
“I took side jobs, freelanced and hustled with the best of them. I used coupons. I sold things I no longer needed. I learned new skills and I didn’t take vacations, go shopping or live beyond my means,” she says.
‘You get sucked in [to the celebrity lifestyle] and I bought into it. Now, I get more work but I spend wisely. I didn’t want to live in the posh part of Brighton and live beyond my means. I’d rather get a run-down property and not have the [financial] worry.’
What was I supposed to do? Asking my parents for money has never been an option afforded to me, especially once they went from two to one. The thought of crowdsourcing funds to pay vet bills through GoFundMe makes my skin crawl. If I was going to get her treated, there’d be no point in half-assing it. I couldn’t NOT do it, so I kept handing over my credit card. It wasn’t the smartest decision, and I’m owning up to that. But I truly felt like I had no other option, and I still stand by it. I’d rather live beyond my means than lose my dog.
