مگه پولت اضافه کرده به انگلیسی چی میشه

Question

سلام. من دارم یه متن عامیانه رو از فارسی به انگلیسی بر می گردونم. یه جایی یکی می گه: «مگه پولت اضافه کرده که میخای بری پیش روانشناس؟!» من خودم نوشتم Do you have extra money که احساس می کنم اصلا معنی رو نمی رسونه. از راهنمایی های شما ممنونم.

by this u mean 'don't waste your money' right?

---

بله منظور اینه که کلا رفتن به روانشناس خرج اضافه است و هیچ فایده ای نداره.

Then I believe your best best would be 'pouring money down the drain.'

Answer 1

'pouring/throwing money down the drain'

'Going to that psycologist would be just pouring the money down the drain'

or 'be a waste (of money)'

If you're not talking about a particular psychologist, you could replace 'going to that psychologist' with 'going to therapy'

Edit

You didn't answer my question whether it means wasting your money, so I figured you might be looking for an expression implying surprise about someone's financial status in a humorous way.

'You wanna go to therapy? What did you do, strike it rich?!'

از پاسخ شما ممنونم. منظورم همون حالت اول بود. بسیار معادل مناسبی بود. واقعا متشکرم

Answer 2

Money burns a hole in your pocket.

And how do you suggest to fit it in the context?

If you don't mind I would say: does money burn a hole in your pocket?

OK. But it doesn't necessarily mean wasting it. It means you really want to spend the money you just got. you can say, 'I had some money burning a hole in my pocket so I treated myself to a nice meal.' You generally say this when you've just received an amount of money, and you'd like to spend it in a way that gives you pleasure.
