burn a hole in one's pocket
"жечь карман", долго не держаться (о деньгах)

Sally and Marie liked to do their shopping together on this gala afternoon after pay on the mines. It was quite exciting to join the throng in the streets, and inspect goods in the shops, put out at bargain prices to tempt women with money burning a hole in their pockets. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Golden Miles’, ch. 13) — Салли и Мари в праздничные дни после получки на рудниках любили потолкаться вдвоем по магазинам. Так весело было, смешавшись с толпой, бродить по улицам, глазеть на товары, выставленные в витринах на соблазн женскому сердцу и на погибель кошельку.

Tyrone: "...Where's Edmund?" Mary: "...He went out... He still has some money left, I suppose, burning a hole in his pocket." (E. O'Neill, ‘Long Day's Journey into Night’, act III) — Тайрон: "...А Эдмунд где?" Мэри: "...Ушел куда-то... У него, как видно, еще остались деньги. И они жгут ему карманы."

He's just an overgrown boy. Money burns a hole in his pocket. (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Silent Partner’, ch. 11) — Мой муж до сих пор ведет себя как мальчишка. Деньги у него долго не держатся.
