Hi
This is a common idiom used when people take money for granted. If you are always asking for money, and never considering how the other person is getting that money, the conversation would go something like this:
A: Friend, can i please have some money for the weekend? B: Do you think money grows on trees? I do not have any money on me right now.
This is a common response given to lazy people as well. They dont realise just how much sweat and tears it takes to make that money. Also, that this money does not just come by when one works for a day. One has to continue working to earn that money.
Kind regards
