How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical act of retrieving or withdrawing money, rather than the abstract concept of earning it.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 賺錢, which means to earn money. Using 攞錢 to mean earning a salary will sound like you are physically taking cash from someone else.
