ትርጉም
This proverb signifies someone consuming or using up resources, opportunities, or advantages prematurely, before the appropriate time or need arises. Consequently, they find themselves without anything when the actual need or event occurs, leaving them unprepared or disadvantaged. It's often used to describe someone who spends future earnings or consumes resources meant for a later, more critical stage, thus jeopardizing their future. For example, spending money saved for a major future event on trivial present desires.
