English Proverb: A fool and his money are soon parted
Money is precious.
Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you the things that make you happy.
Money is difficult to obtain and easy to spend, so when we spend money, we must take our time and consider what we spend it on.
Unfortunately, some people are very careless with their money and spend (or lose) it very quickly.
The proverb English has to warn against being irresponsible with money is a fool, and his money are soon parted.
It means that a person who is careless with their money will soon end up penniless.
Gambling is one of the ways that a person can lose money very quickly.
In gambling, the house always wins; the cards are stacked against you: a fool and his money are soon parted.
