Philip says that Shmike 'made a healthy profit in the 90's'.
In this context, 'healthy' means:
In this context, 'healthy' means:
Philip says that Shmike 'made a healthy profit in the 90's'.
In this context, 'healthy' means:
In this context, 'healthy' means:
Profits cannot be described as 'nutritious', which refers to food which is good for the body. 'Nutritious' is similar in meaning to 'healthy', however it is not correct to use this term to describe profits or money. This term (nutritious) is never used in a financial context.
Philip is expressing that Shmike made large or considerable profits in the 90's, not that their profits were 'sane', which means 'mentally stable' in English. Profits aren't described as 'sane'.
The term 'paltry' actually expresses the opposite meaning of Philip's term 'healthy'. A 'paltry' sum of money is extremely small, or 'next to nothing'.
When Philip describes Shmike's profits as 'healthy', he is saying that they were 'considerable', 'sizeable', or 'strong'. In this context, 'healthy' doesn't express an idea related to 'health' or the human body. The term is being used idiomatically to indicate Shmike's large profits (the money they earned) in the 1990's.
Philip is not expressing that Shmike's profits were 'well-balanced' in the 90's, but rather that they were significant or sizeable. If something is 'well-balanced' it is evenly proportioned or regular.
