LIVED UP and ROLLING IN RECEIPTS
Hi, could someone tell me what refers to this "LIVED UP" here?:
'I hadn't worked for over a year -just tramped the agencies and casting calls and LIVED UP my benefits.'
And:
'I hope I haven't given you the impression that I'm rolling in receipts, Sometimes it's a little rough' (Is a actor-player about his life)
Thanks in advance, Jo.

as for second sentence first let me explain rough.Here rough means not exact and including many details.So, from this explanation you can undderstand that by rolling in receipts writer tries to say that dont think that I do particular things based on rules.Sometimes they may be confusing or involving details.

I don't quite agree with the above reply.
I think that "I'm not rolling in receipts" means "I am not receiving lots of money, so I can't bathe/roll/wallow in it."
"Sometimes, it's a little rough" means "Sometimes, in our profession things can be difficult financially."
Now, on "I've lived up my benefits" may mean "I finished/used up all my une

Are you quite sure it wasn't "lived OFF my benefits"?
If you live off something, you use that to pay for your expenses.

Lived up doesn't make any sense to me either.
Lived off my benefits or lived on my benefits.
Lived off my benefits or lived on my benefits.

Nona The BritLived up doesn't make any sense to me either.Hello, Nona:
Lived off my benefits or lived on my benefits.
Any combination with "live" which would say that you "used up/consumed" all your benefits?

Hi Marius,
I can't think of any combination with 'live' that means used all of the resources, no. Oh, maybe 'lived beyond their means' which means that someone not only used all their money but has got into trouble/debt by spending too much, but that doesn't mean the same as just spending all of their money.
Used up, yes, lived up, no.
