Dig deeper into your pockets to get LPG cylinders

All successful executives possess excellent professional English communication skills. Some are more natural while some learnt these skills through training and experience – but they all have them.

Think of how you can keep working on your own English communication skills.

In this post, we discuss the phrase, “Dig into pocket”.

Now, what is pocket known for? Simple. Money.

And why would you want to dig into your pockets? Simple. To take out money.

And why would you want to dig deeper into your pockets. Again simple. To take out more money (or a lot of money).

Thus, digging into your pockets means using your own money to buy something and digging deep into your pockets means using a lot of your money (or relatively more money) to buy something.

Let’s take some examples:

1. The consumers will now have to dig deeper into their packets to buy a gas cylinder.
2. The government cannot provide you subsidized diesel anymore. If you want to drive swanky SUVs, dig into your own pockets.
3. Now that you have retired, you will have to dig into your own pockets for a house and domestic help.
4. The small farmers will have to dig deeper into their pockets to be able to buy seeds. This government claims to be farmer friendly but does everything to the contrary.

Pay your money or pay more money – that’s the meaning of dig into your pockets.

Some more examples:

1. The college has stopped all scholarships. The students will now have to dig into their own pockets to finance their education.
2. I think it is a fair judgement. If the students earn Crores in salaries after they graduate, they should dig deeper into their pockets to fund their studies.
3. Parents of young kids have to dig deeper in their pockets during Diwali.
4. The smokers will have to dig deeper into their pockets because the government has increased the taxes on tobacco.
