good money
Solid financial compensation
Good money refers to a substantial or significant sum: They paid good money for that car.
The phrase often emphasizes that real value was exchanged, usually to express frustration when that value seems wasted: I spent good money on these shoes and they fell apart in a month.
To throw good money after bad is to waste additional resources trying to recover what's already lost.
