Acquire money in São Paulo? That's a foolish assumption! (7)
I believe the answer is:
getreal
'sao paulo? that's a foolish assumption' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'acquire money' is the wordplay.
'acquire' becomes 'get' (synonyms).
'money' becomes 'real' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'get'+'real'='GETREAL'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
