Portuguese term

manda bustar

Portuguese to English Marketing Marketing
dinheiro não traz felicidades mas bem utilizado manda bustar

from a survey about money

any ideas? "manda buscar"? but would that make any sense?

Proposed translations

7 mins

money doesn't bring/buy happiness, my foot/my ass/but I'd rather die in a Ferrari..., etc.

É manda buscar, com c.

Em inglês parece não haver um término irreverente padrão, cada um constrói o seu ad hoc, basta ver o que aparece na Internet.
Note from asker:
Could manda buscar perhaps be translated as "money talks"? Money doesn't buy happiness but money talks

It is a typo. This is a very popular Brazilian proverb.

Money does not bring happiness but, when properly used, it sends for it.

Thanks but would I be right in thinking that the sentence seems incomplete, manda buscar o que? What does "it" in your suggestion refer to?
