Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is make ends meet and it’s meaning is “to earn/have just enough money to buy the essential things that you need to live on; survive, manage, cope, subsist“.
Example Sentence: More than 150 years ago, Leo Tolstoy, one of the greatest novelists and thinkers of the world, writing in his book, What Then Must We Do, wondered and asked: if everything of value and substance is produced in the rural areas, why then are the villages mired (involved) in poverty and cities awash in wealth? That question continues to befuddle (confuse) us… All these thoughts brought back memories of my (Captain G.R. Gopinath’s) own life from the 1980s. Those days I (he) struggled as a farmer to make ends meet.
