"Pin money" -> nghĩa là tiền tiêu vặt.

Ví dụ
And he got an annual stipend (thu nhập chính) of around 250,000 pounds ($400,000) from mummy, for performing royal duties as part of “The Firm.” But now he’s been punted from the family enterprise, so there goes that pin money.

If you’re familiar with the term “pin money” at all, you probably understand it to mean a negligible (không đáng kể) amount of petty cash, and you may associate it with women’s spending.

That said, even when pins cost so much that Parliament (Quốc Hội) restricted their sales, pin money was never meant solely for the purchase of pins. Describing it as pin money was always a kind of shorthand for money provided to women for the household items within their purview.

Personal finance is personal, which means every budget is going to be different—but societal expectations tend to paint with a broad brush. From pin money to jokes about shoe shopping, women (and men) may feel stuck with a role that doesn’t fit them, and unsure of how to create a budget that works.
