Re: to be out of pocket
"get by"
to get by means to survive but it is not easy. "I only earn $x a month, it's not much but I get by."
"out of pocket"
to be out of pocket means to have less money than expected. Often from having lost money somehow. "I'm out of pocket this month after I found out my work deducted $x from my pay cheque"
