Money doesn't grow on trees.

[klassicdoll]

The common saying "money doesn't grow on trees" suggests that money is something that needs to be gained through effort and hard work rather than something that is just handed to you. When someone asks for or expects money without making any effort to earn it, they frequently use this phrase.
Do you use this phrase too?

That is a lesson for those lazy people who are only waiting for the money to be handed to them effortlessly. Money grows from sweats of hard work.
