proverb · Words worth keeping
Opportunity is money to be made.
Opportunity is money to be made.
Understand the thought
Meaning in plain English
Opportunity defined as money to be made gives a possibility a financial value. The saying frames an opening through potential earnings.
Example
Someone checks an offer’s actual costs and purpose rather than assuming the opportunity label means profit.
Deeper explanation and when to use it
The definition is narrower than all possible meanings of opportunity. A critical interpretation can assess an economic prospect without promising profit or ignoring learning, care and other purposes. Actual terms, costs and consequences matter, and an offer called an opportunity may not suit the person receiving it.
When to use it
Use it to examine a financially framed possibility without a spending recommendation.
Keep in mind
No guaranteed earnings or universal definition of valuable opportunity is established.
An interpretation of the words, not a claim about their earliest origin.
