t’s not hard to meet expenses . . . they’re everywhere.
Gah! How slow am I? Took me three reads to get it.

Maybe I’m just thick, but I don’t get it.
Meeting expenses usually means managing to pay expenses.
Meeting people means to make the acquaintance of people (through friends, in pubs, clubs, down the supermarket, etc).
In this instance, meeting expenses is making the acquaintance of more expenses, rather than managing to pay off the ones already accrued...
