They say that there are no pockets in the tachrichim. You can’t take it with you. There is a story where are a king asked his minister what is your wealth, what do you own? The minister specified a very small amount. The king got upsets saying, the house and field you own are worth more than that. Therefore, I am taking everything away from you. The minister answered my master the king, that is what I meant. I admitted to what I gave to tzadaka which you cannot take away from me. The rest does not really belong to me as with one edict you can take away from me.
