What is the meaning of the expression on a shoestring?

English

hichkok12 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

on a shoestring. With very limited financial means, as in The newlyweds were living on a shoestring. The precise allusion in this term is unclear. One fanciful theory is that debtors in British prisons would lower a shoe by its laces from a window so as to collect funds from visitors or passers-by.

Based on the stories, which of these seems to have been a common occurrence during the Great Depression?
malfutka [58]
<span>The correct answer should be A. Investing in stocks. That's basically why the great depression happened in the first place. People were investing into stocks more and more but the companies were not doing so well so they couldn't return the money to investors. This lead to the whole stock market crashing and this in turn destroyed the banks and banks had to pull themselves out so they pulled the regular people in and the whole economic system collapsed.</span>
