>full wallets groan with the absence of life.
you can have big adventures, sure, but you’re not really living on the edge unless you don’t have mighty money to fall back on when just plain old livin’ doesn’t work out.
>I recently learned that in Brazil, ones stomach doesn’t ‘growl’ or ‘groan’ with hunger, it ‘snores’. And a phrase might be directly translated as ‘I am so hungry that my stomach is snoring every 5 minutes.’
That’s what I thought of when I read this, and wondered if there, full wallets would snore too.
