"Melach Mamon - Chasser" (מלח ממון - חסר) which literally means, "Salt money by diminishing it."
Note: The Talmud teaches, "Melach Mamon Chasser," which literally means, "Salt money by diminishing it." Before refrigeration, people would preserve meat by pouring large amounts of salt on it, which would drain the meat of all its juices. Although this had the effect of diminishing from the size of the meat, this procedure was necessary to ensure its preservation. If somebody refused to salt the meat in order to maintain its full weight and volume, he would ultimately lose the entire piece, because it would spoil. The Talmud here teaches that money is "preserved" in the same fashion. If a person wishes to "salt," to protect, his money, then he must "diminish it," he must give some of it to charity. Otherwise, his wealth, like an unsalted piece of meat, will be "spoiled" and lost.
