Hi All,
I`ve been looking up some definitions of the word "off" (which does
have plenty) and one of the examples is this:
Definition: [adverb] having access to or possession of material goods
or wealth to the extent specified.
Example: we`d been rather badly off for books
"We`d been rather badly off for books", as far as I can see, is
something along the lines of either
1: "We hadn`t got enough money to afford buying books", or
2: "We had been having a shortage of books"
Somehow I`m thinking of the second one to be true.
Which one is more realistic to you?
... A great deal of money is never enough once you have it
