Save back money for a rainy day.....

This idiomatic expression means that one should save back money or anything of value for a time when money might not be easily accessible or available....

My lips are sealed...

Notwithstanding the super cute song by The Go Go's, this social idiom is often expressed when desiring to communicate that anything discussed in confidence is kept PRIVATE. Private knowledge is kept private NOT for reasons of secrecy, but because of an agreement to keep matters confidential and private.

"A Ballpark Figure" .................

If you give a ballpark figure or a ballpark estimate, you give a number which you think is fairly close to the actual one.

I guess this would be very similar to........

"Tighten Your Belt

If you tighten your belt, you try to spend less money. By spending less money you're actually saving money.

"Run-Of-The-Mill"............

Something is run-of-the-mill if it is ordinary and nothing special.
