Shrouds have no pockets. Give me all (of) your money and I can help you to spend it.
Dear Misa,
This is a very odd entry, and a tad creepy. What does it mean?

I think the mean is you cannot take money with you when you die. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah, I came across this phrase in a book, I think I want to keep it, so I just rewrote and post it.

I agree with the previous correction. Just wondering if "shrouds have no pockets" is an idiom. In English, there is the idiom "you can't take it with you" which means that you should enjoy life now even if you need to spend some money to do so because the money won't do you any good after you have passed away. Is this similar to what you meant?
