hi,

It sounds that they are financially very well. their bank accounts have sufficient cash balance.

They are by all account well off but very miser.

Hello Shiba,
It sounds as though they do very well financially and that their bank accounts have sufficient balances.

They are, by all

I don't believe there's any connection (here, at least), between being well off and being miserly.

Yes, rich people could be misers, but they could be generous, like Bill Gates, who devoted most of his money to help other people. I hope I could be a rich guy devoting money to fight cancer!

Hi evrybody,

Yes I do agree that there is no connection between financially well off and miser. Actually I just wanted to write a sentence only. I stated the meaning of idiom in the very first line. second line is just a sentence.

I see. You just want to provide a longer slightly different sentence as an example. Thanks.
