What does Haggai 1:6 mean?

'You plant a lot but harvest little. You eat but never feel full. You drink but never feel satisfied. You put on clothes but can’t get warm. You earn money, but it disappears as if your pockets have holes.' Haggai 1:6 - Modern Text Bible

(God describes how their efforts aren’t producing satisfaction or security, hinting that something deeper is wrong.)
