My favorite idiom just reminded me of my mom. She used to say when I was little "money doesn't grow on trees" because my sister and I always wanted everything from the store.
The meaning of it is money is valuable and should not be wasted. You have to work hard for it.
I got 21 out of 30 in the quiz.
