"Cha-ching" is an exclamation that references money! It represents the sound a cash register makes. The phrase is said in celebration of successfully making money or something that will make you money. It's common to hear on payday or when someone is excited that they made money! Ex: I just received money from work! Cha-ching! Ex: I can't wait to officially start my own business. I can hear the money going, "cha-ching!" already. Ex: Cha-ching! The dress I made sold for two hundred dollars!!
