Expenses/expenditure
How do I know when to use either one of the words?The definitions are so similiar.
Top answer
" Expenses is more often used to refer to money individuals spend, such as "business trip expenses," "gas expenses," "food expenses," etc. If you look it up in the dictionary, the definitions are mostly the same, but to me, "expenditure" would be more a chunk of money, maybe an overall sum of expenses spent on something. Maybe a good synonym would be "outlay".
