Q:
What is the difference between we need to spend money within a budget. and we need to stick to a budget. ?
A:
Both sayings pretty much mean the same thing, when to use which phrase as it may be more preferable would be the question. “Spend money within a budget” seems to be giving a guideline or setting up a rule. When one uses “stick to a budget”, it may seem that at the situation that there are possible scenarios where they’ve exceeded the budget. Thus, the later phrase has a bit more attitude, or correction in its meaning.

And so on…

Translations of "Money"
Q:
How do you say this in English (US)? I meant to mean to give you your money back, but I forgot
What does meant to mean mean ?
What does meant to mean mean ?
A:
Using "meant to mean" only works for some sentences, but not in other sentences. It is a complicated phrase, that means "my original intentions were [this]..." It is a way of talking about your first hopes, your first plans, what you first meant/intended/planned to do. And then the second "mean" part is almost more about sincerity, what you truly wanted to give/express/say/feel.
So when you put it together, it is like saying "I planned to truly want [the best thing to happen and everything to be happy]" or "my first intentions were to help everything turn out happy" = I meant to mean the best...
So the song lyric, "I meant to mean the best" = "I meant to" [I planned to] , "mean the best" [intended the best to happen, had good intentions, wanted the best outcome, wanted everything to become the best, etc.] So "my first plans were to want the best to happen". Or "at first, I really did want the best to happen".
When you put that together, it is a little bit complicated. But it basically says "at the beginning, my plans were that I wanted everything to turn out for the best...." But now it is already ending...so it is too late now, because it is already over. So they started this relationship with the best of intentions and hopes, but now it's all over.
In the simplest explanation, "I meant to mean" is just adding a lot of emphasis to how much they intended this, they had planned to do this. Especially in the beginning before anything changed.
But for some sentences, just normal "I meant to..." is often enough just by itself. So the other example, "I meant to mean to give you..." doesn't make as much sense. It really only needs the "I meant to" part. So that is why I said it should be "I meant to give you..." instead.
It is a bit hard to explain. So I hope that made enough sense.

Q:
I'm sure he............enough money of his own he just doesn't want to lend you any.
A)Will have. b)Is going to have c) Has
D) Is having
Some teachers say the answer is "will have" and some say the answer is "has". I thought it was "has" too, but tutors all on different pages. So what's the right answer, yo?
i think:
"Has" indicates a present state of having.
The statement implies that the person currently has enough money, not that they will have it in the future.
"Will have" or "is going to have" could be possible if the context suggests that the person is expecting to receive money soon, but "has" is the most straightforward and natural choice in this situation.

A:
A and B mean the exact same. So if this were a test question, the answer must be C or D and D makes no sense. Test taking skills are important.
For A and B to make sense would require some sort of loan in the future after someone else already got paid. And even then it would not work because the verb tense of "doesn't" is wrong.
John is getting paid tomorrow so John could lend you money tomorrow. But John does not trust you. So tomorrow I'm sure John will have enough money of own he just WON'T want to lend you any.
I had to stick that last verb into the future to make this strange context work.
