hot money
Definition 1
General: Alternative term for discretionary income.
Definition 2
International finance: Extremely volatile short-term capital that moves on a short notice to any country providing better returns. Powerful speculators can quickly pump massive sums into a high-yield economy, giving it an artificial aura of success and propriety. But, on a mere suspicion of a downturn or other negative factor, they can (and do) withdraw it almost overnight causing a near collapse of the country's financial structure.
Definition 3
Local finance: Money obtained through illegal means such as drug trafficking. Also called dirty money.
