Answer:

"A fool and his money are soon parted"

Explanation:

This proverb explains that no matter what, if you are a fool, you will not have money since you do not understand how to use it.

For example, how do you think a wise man would utilize his credit cards verses a foolish man? The wise man would be diligent to spend only what he could afford and make sure to pay back every penny, but the fool would spend it all right away.
