This is the German translation to "You can't take it with you when you go" and I like it better, it produces funny visuals in my head of people trying to stuff their house, their Mercedes or even their children into their shirt with no pockets.

 

Those things won't fit dear ones. As much as you may "want" to take those things with you, it simply will not happen. It may bring you comfort to understand the difference between "want" and "need".
