意味
Using money to buy things.
文化的背景
In the past, Mongolians used silver ingots called 'Дэнс'. Spending money literally meant weighing and sometimes cutting or rubbing the silver. This is why 'үрэх' (to rub) became the verb for spending. With the mining boom, a 'spending culture' emerged. Young people often use 'мөнгө үрэх' to describe 'retail therapy' or hanging out in luxury coffee shops like Caffe Bene. It is culturally expected to 'мөнгө үрэх' when a guest arrives. Saving money at the expense of a guest's comfort is seen as very rude (харамч). This is the time of year when Mongolians 'мөнгө үрэх' the most. Families spend millions of Tugriks on gifts, meat (ууц), and new clothes.
Context is King
If you want to sound responsible, use 'зарцуулах'. If you want to sound like a normal person, use 'үрэх'.
Don't say 'Мөнгө ашиглах'
Mongolians will understand you, but it sounds like you are using money as a physical tool (like using a coin to turn a screw).

The 'Waste' Nuance
If you add the word 'дэмий' (demii) before 'мөнгө үрэх', it 100% means 'wasting money'.
Generosity
When someone treats you to dinner, they might say 'Би өнөөдөр мөнгө үрье' (Let me spend money today). It's a friendly way to offer to pay.
