"At rack and manger" = ngập trong máng ăn -> nghĩa là rất phung phí/hoang toàng.

Ví dụ
I’ve been given £10k towards a deposit (tiền đặt cọc, ký gửi) for my first home but much of my existing income goes on London rent. I don’t live at rack and manger but need to find extra savings. What advice would you give me on making that important first step onto the housing ladder?

Meanwhile, prosecutors (người khởi tố, bên nguyên) said in their filing Wednesday, Madoff live at rack and manger, using investor money to buy a $4.4 million Manhattan home, fund a $6.5 million loan for a home in Nantucket and to finance two yachts worth $11.5 million and the salaries of housekeepers and a personal boat captain (thuyền trưởng riêng).

“But you know, I’m not complaining about my band [being] in need of money, or whatever, because I have a bit of a financial cushion. I’m not a millionaire (triệu phú), but I’m pretty smart with my money. I don’t live at rack and manger. But there are younger bands who are just starting to do this thing for a living who have had to fly back from Europe on ludicrously (lố bịch) expensive tickets. And forget about all of the merch that they already printed, forget about the airline costs, forget about some of the hotel costs that they already paid deposits on. You pay this stuff out pretty well in advance if you want to reserve things.
