돈을 긁어모으다

#. 돈을 긁어모으다

 

 

• to make bank : (단기간에) 돈을 많이 벌다 : 예를 들어 복권에 당첨되는 경우

Sounds like your phone's ringing.

> I know. It's been ringing off the hook all day. But everybody keeps getting the wrong number.

> They keep asking for some guy named Bill.

That's weird.

> I know, right? If I had a dollar for every time someone's called me asking for Bill, I'd make bank.

 

• to rake it in : 돈을 긁어모으다 : 돈을 많이 번다 : 지속적인 수입원이 있을 경우에 주로 사용

A friend of mine made a gaming app and it became so popular that he actually got to quit his job.

> Whoa, really? You can make enough money off selling an app to quit your job?

Are you kidding? He's raking it in. Popular apps these days make millions of dollars a year.

> Wow, I had no idea!
