     I thought you were well-off.

Hear the storyline. Jerry is broke.  He wants to borrow some money from his friend Cathy, only to find out that Cathy is broke, too.
Jerry: Can you loan me some money?
Cathy: I'm sorry.  I've already gone through my paycheck for the week.
Jerry: You've gone through all you money so quickly?  I thought you were well-off.
Cathy: Not me!  You know money always burns a hole in my pocket.
