Why Do I Lose All My Money?


Before jumping to the reasons why you keep losing money, let’s pause for a moment. Ask yourself: Why do I even want to keep money with me?

If you don’t have a clear reason, then maybe that’s exactly why money slips away. Sounds brutal? Maybe. But this isn’t about being nice — this is about being honest.

You Need a Reason to Keep Money

It’s not enough to just say “I want money.” You need a why behind it. And sometimes, even a simple reason isn’t enough.

Here’s the truth: your brain is a meaning-making machine. Everything you believe about money — how to earn it, save it, spend it, or waste it — comes from the meaning your brain has attached to it over the years. These meanings are shaped by your experiences.

So ask yourself: What meaning have I given to money?


How Your Past Shapes Your Money Habits

Your money habits didn’t start with you — they were inherited. Think about it:

  • How did your parents use their money? Were they good managers or careless spenders?

  • Did they invest, or did they think investing was “too risky”?

  • What did you see growing up? Were rich people admired, or judged?

Your childhood experiences leave deep impressions. The truth is, many of your money habits and beliefs aren’t really yours — they’re borrowed. You adopted them, and your brain accepted them as the truth.

A Simple Money Mindset Exercise

Take a pen and paper. Write down your thoughts under these headings:

  1. My experiences with rich people and my ideas about them and money

  2. My parents’ relationship with money

  3. My childhood experiences that shaped how I think about money

Once you’ve written them down, read them again carefully. Notice how many of these ideas are not really yours.

Time to Reprogram Your Money Mindset

Now that you can see these beliefs don’t belong to you, you can choose to create new ones.

Put your hand on your heart and say:

“I can see that my old perception about money is not mine. I am open to creating happier, healthier, and richer ways of handling money.”

Repeat it until it feels true. Because once you change the meaning of money in your mind, you’ll stop losing it.

Final Thoughts

You don’t lose money just because of bad luck. You lose it because of the mindset and habits that were handed down to you. The good news? You can reprogram those habits and create a new relationship with money.

Your money doesn’t control you — your perception of it does. Change that, and everything changes.

how to stop thinking about work?

Are you on a vacation but can't stop thinking about your work? You might be a responsible person but that is not the reason you are thinking about it. Your routine is changed recently and you are in a new environment that is new to you. We are people of habits and actions.  Get away with the tools you use for your work or things that get your brain to work on. Your mobile, your laptop, camera or anything that trigger you to open it and check something or do something because you do not have anything to do. What could go wrong when you will be back on work. This thing is most common and reveals that you are scared of something or someone. Know that thing is important because you are giving it importance may be more than your health, your relationships and things that are actually important. Exercise is important but not always, drinking water is important but not always so work is important but not always. What you've chosen is to take a break, make sure that you are taking a br...

Is heaven actually a higher planet?

Exoplanet Existence of heaven is a lot like existence of God. You never saw him but you know in your heart that the God does exist and he is guiding you at times and he is the reason you are alive. I do not know whether heaven exists or not, neither I've seen it with my eyes. There are different believes among different people, religion and texts but they are all based on something that has been passed on by generations or found in religious texts. Heaven is a place where people want to go but they do not know where it is, neither Google map can locate it. Heaven is a place that is good, rich and has got everything you will ever need. This place would be pleasing for somebody who is not rich does not have enough in this life that is the reason he or she is eager to know whether there is a heaven or not. To have hope to go there by their good deeds if that's the way. Real or just a possibility? There are so many planets in our galaxy and there are so many galaxies in our univers...
