for number ONE

I'm trying to say From the 25th onward I have no money left
1 I have no money with 6 days left till the end of the month. ????
and for number 4

It has nothing to do with TILL or TO but it means number 1
4 Come the 25th of each month I have no money.

Is the bold sentence correct?
  • Sentence 4 means what I'm try to express in sen

For #1, you'll have to front the phrase:

With 6 days left till the end of the month, I have no money.

#4 does not convey that meaning with 'come', which is only used for future events:

Come the 25th of each month I will have no money.-- This means that the 25th has not yet arrived, but at that date, I will have no money.
