    Daag hab money, ‘im buy cheese; lose ‘im money, ‘im beg de clot’

    Translation: A dog who has money will buy cheese; when he loses his money he will beg the cloth

    Meaning: When a poor person gets money he may spend it foolishly, but when he loses it he gets desperate and begs for scraps
