It could also just be English if you only speak English.

    I only just realized the pun inside “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”

    Most people complain that it’s a pointless idiom because if you possess a cake, you are likely able to eat it.

    Having cake is another way of saying eating cake. It’s saying you can’t eat your cake and then eat your cake again.

      It’s saying you can’t eat your cake and then eat your cake again.

      I read this like “have it on the shelf” . One can’t save money and still spend it.
