意味
To use money to buy goods or services.
文化的背景
During the 'Rebajas' (sales) in January and July, 'gastar dinero' becomes a national pastime. It is common to see news reports on how much the average Spaniard spends. Due to historical inflation, 'gastar dinero' quickly is sometimes seen as a survival strategy because the value of 'la plata' (money) drops so fast. The concept of 'el pilón' or small extra gifts in markets encourages people to 'gastar' more at specific stalls to build a relationship with the vendor.
Drop the 'Dinero'
In casual conversation, you can just say 'No quiero gastar mucho' and everyone knows you mean money.
The 'Time' Trap
Remember: Spending time is NEVER 'gastar' unless you are complaining that the time was wasted.
