Does everyone have the same approach? Or do they all handle things differently? Chances are, you can easily think of differences in peoples\u2019 approaches to money management. And it shouldn\u2019t be surprising to learn that money is one of the top sources of conflict in a relationship. <\/p>\n<p>This is true in business just as it is in families. How a company uses its financial resources is a huge strategic concern.  Does the company risk some to get some? Or does the company favor saving and safety? And does the short-term strategy differ from the long-term strategy? These are all important questions, and it\u2019s no wonder that English has so many idioms to talk about how people spend money. <\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s dialog, we\u2019ll rejoin Shelly, Martin, and Vince, three managers at a tech company. They are talking about how their company should spend money on staffing. And as we\u2019ll hear, they don\u2019t really agree on the best approach. During their conversation, they use many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/business-idioms\/\" title=\"Business English Idioms\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">business English idioms<\/a> related to spending money. See if you can spot some of these as we go through the dialog, and we\u2019ll explain them later in the debrief. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\tWhat does Martin say about companies that already work in the sector they are considering?<br \/>\n2.\tHow does Martin describe office space on the south side of the city?<br \/>\n3.\tHow does Vince describe the company\u2019s possible future situation of having lots more money to spend?<\/p>\n<p>[tp no_translate=&#8221;y&#8221;]<strong>Premium Members: <a
