Money talks because it can get you what you want. Imagine you have a toy, and your friend wants it, if they give you more toys, they might trade with you. That’s how money works: it helps people trade things fairly. When someone has a lot of money, like a rich person, they can buy almost anything. So when we say money talks, it means that having a lot of money gives you power, and power is very persuasive.
Examples
- A kid with $10 can buy candy from the store, but a kid without any money cannot.
- A rich person can afford to live in a big house, while someone with no money might have to live on the street.
- If you give your friend more toys than they gave you, they will probably trade with you.
