    hard to tell but the sentence does not make much sense to me

    Gold is heavier than a life... this seems to be a japanese saying which pops-up quite a lot on google, would be nice to have a Japanese native confirm the translation and give some context

    If gold is the translation then the reading is きん

    It's a proverb about making a living. Or sacrificing your life to make money. "You have to work for your living" or something like this.

    Or "You only appreciate the money that you worked for". I can't think of the exact equivalent in English. Maybe an English native knows better.

    It's a line from a manga - and it's intended pretty literally (spoken cynically).

    Maybe we should make it "Money is heavier than life.[Proverb]" and just let people work it out themselves.

    Ha-ha. OK, although I still suspect that it should actually be

    Money is heavier than life.[Manga]
    ;-)

    What's the best way to remove this from the translation needed list? Just ask TRANG?

    It's a public list - you can do it yourself. You just have to click the 'edit' link instead of the 'show' link next to the list.
