Summary

The idea is that when someone has experienced poverty (an empty purse) or the challenges of building a new house, they gain wisdom but unfortunately, it comes too late. It implies that people realize the importance of financial stability and intelligence, or the underlying knowledge needed to build something, after they have faced difficulties and made mistakes. Ultimately, it highlights the importance of learning from past experiences and seizing the opportunity to gain wisdom before it is too late.
