 I don`t have any money on me. Would you please tell me the difference between these two sentences? 1)I don`t have any money on me. 2)I don`t have any money with me. Thanks in advance,  |

 Re: I don`t have any money on me. There really isn't a difference. . . . on me <inside my pocket or wallet> . . . with me <carrying with me> |

| Re: I don`t have any money on me. Well,the reason that I asked this question was that one of my teacher said one of those sentences means I don`t have any money at all.(neither in my pocket nor at home).and one of them means (I don`t have any money in my pocket right now).Is that wrong?

| Re: I don`t have any money on me. To me, a North American speaker, both mean, I don't have any money on my person. |

| Re: I don`t have any money on me. As a British speaker, I agree with Casiopea. The biggest difference is that the first sentence is less formal. |
