In the red 

If you’re in the red, it means you’re losing money or you owe money. Your balance is negative, either in your bank account, business, or budget.

Examples:

1- After a slow winter season, the small café was in the red for three months straight.

2- Even some famous athletes have gone in the red after retiring—lavish spending and no income can be a dangerous combo.

Hello and welcome back to Daily English! today’s expression is “in the red.” Once again: in the red.

Can you guess what it means? Here are two quick hints: Imagine a business that spent more money this month than it earned. The accountant says, “We’re in the red.”
Or picture someone who keeps shopping online with a credit card… but they don’t actually have the money to pay for it. By the end of the month, they’re in the red.
So, what does this expression really mean?

If you’re in the red, it means you’re losing money or you owe money. Your balance is negative, either in your bank account, business, or budget.

1."After a slow winter season, the small café was in the red for three months straight."
2. "Even some famous athletes have gone in the red after retiring—lavish spending and no income can be a dangerous combo."
3. "I bought concert tickets, a new phone, and sushi four times last week… My bank account is deeply in the red."
This phrase is usually used to talk about finances, especially when:✔️ A person or company is spending more than they’re earning ✔️ A bank account is overdrawn
 ✔️ A budget is in trouble

Have you ever been in the red—maybe after a vacation, a big purchase, or just a little too much online shopping? How did you get back on track? I’d love to hear your story!
