The phrase "nickel and dime to death" originates from the concept of repeatedly charging small amounts of money, akin to paying in nickels and dimes, which can accumulate and become burdensome over time. This expression likely evolved from the practice of nickel and diming in business, where additional charges are added incrementally. It conveys the idea of being financially drained or exhausted by continuous small expenses.
