You know what it means...
Money is nice, yet nice is worth more.
Money will buy you a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail.
Money talks BS walks.
I'm not sure what it means, I think it refers to doing what you say and saying what you do. Not all talk and no action. Actually its not as easy as I thought it would be to explain it... makes good sense.
Sense can make dollars, Dollars don't make sense.

It is actually a mistaken quote. The true quote is, "Don't put your money where your mouth is." Money is considered dirty and germ ridden and could cause an infection. Over the years people changed it and now it means to back up intentions or ideas (spoken) with money. (Like pay up, or shut up!)

It's a way of saying demonstrate your commitment. What I mean is its' saying don't just pay something lip service or make a statement when you have nothing at risk or to lose. It is simply saying put up something tangable to you (ie money) to back up your statement so if you are proven wrong you just won't be wrong but you will be out your money. You have put up something at risk and are not just saying trust what I'm saying.

I agree with Mott - you know what it means more than most of the other people who answered this question. It is impossible for an intelligent woman with FIVE Best Answers and a beautiful Avatar, not to know. So - why did you waste five points?

Well it has to do with the saying actions mean more than just words.
You have to mean what you say and say what you mean. Sometimes people will call your bluff just to see if you will carry things through. So do not make promises that you can not keep. If you say it then do it and mean it.

It means,...
put up or shut up,
talk is cheap,
show me how big your brass balls are,
put out or get out,
show me what you've got,
prove it or pay up,
go for it,
and last but not least...I like my money with a lot of saliva on it.

It means backing up what you say with money, betting on it.

If you really and truly believe what you say then you are willing to put your money up as collateral.

"Put your money where your mouth is," is a common betting term which means, " Let's bet on it."

It means that you should back up your statements with something tangible. In other words, guaranteeing your statements with money.
