I bought/paid

Is this sentence weird?

I bought/paid it from my cash/money.
  

Top answer

I bought/paid it from my cash/money. It's not very natural. You could say: I paid for it with my own money.

Thanks, Blue J. Do these two also work?

They are both correct, but the second would usually refer to something like a bill rather than a purchase.
