Some good entries so far, but I think the BNC can do better!
How about writing an entry that doesn't use the word 'because' straight after 'money matters...'. How about trying one of these words, or one of your own:
when
if
until
however
unless
more
I think that your idea was excellent because ...
• When;
• However;
• If;
• Until;
• Unless;
• More;
Without using the word because I don’t see how you can’t put any of the words that the BNC has given us so for example...
Without money you can not pay for such things as food, clothing, utilities and the luxuries of life!
