I found this proverb online, and I was wondering if any of you had a idea of what it means.

Saw this for the first time - and somehow, it appeared to be intuitively and instinctually dawning on me that it seems to be conveying that if someone has a "habit" of buying unneeded stuff, it may signal an affliction of some kind (some sort of an addiction, may be) and that addiction would force the person to keep on adding the unneeded stuff to the point that, given the limited resources available to most of the human beings, the person will reach a point at which to satisfy the addiction, he / she will start selling the needed / essential stuff.
I hope it helps.
Cheers!

If you spend money on luxuries, you will eventually have to give up necessities to pay for them.
