金かねの切きれ目めが縁えんの切きれ目め

expression

when the money runs out, the relationship ends

Proverb meaning that relationships based on financial interest dissolve once the money is gone.

• 金かねの切きれ目めが縁えんの切きれ目めというから、お金かねでつながった友とも達だちはあてにならない。

  As the saying goes, 'the end of money is the end of love,' so friends connected by money are unreliable.
