This proverb highlights how different types of people face losses according to their nature. A talkative or argumentative person loses their credibility or energy through unnecessary talk (meaning their words have no value), while a miser or greedy person eventually loses their entire wealth (bundle) because they are too stingy to spend it wisely or protect it.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where excessive delay or over-processing leads to a complete loss.
