“In the end, losing five dollars wasn’t a big deal.” This means there are many more important things than five dollars.
“In the end” often refers to the big picture or the grand scheme of thing but is not a literal place.
“At the end of the road, there was a cliff.” This means there’s a cliff at the end of the road. It’s referring to a place. It can also refer to a time such as, “At the end of the day, I fell asleep.” This means late at night, the literal end of the day.
“At the end of the day, not going to the party wasn’t so bad.” In this sentence, “at the end” and “in the end” mean the same thing. However, it is not typical to use “in the end of the day” or “at the end” while it is very common to use “at the end of the day” and “in the end” but only for when you’re referring to the big picture or the grand scheme of things.
Hope this helps and keep up the good work!
