Who among us has not lost money? Probably, everyone has encountered this unpleasant situation at least once.
First you feel panic, then you feel annoyed with yourself, and then you feel sadness from the loss.
But don't be too upset! Folk wisdom says that losing money can be a good sign.
Let's figure out what the signs about lost money actually mean and whether they should be believed.
Losing money - to gain
Since ancient times, people believed that what was lost would definitely return, and even with interest.
It doesn't matter whether you dropped small change from your pocket or a large bill - folk signs promise that financial success awaits you soon. This could be:
• a profitable business proposal;
• promising contract;
• lottery winnings;
• unexpected inheritance.
It is interesting that our ancestors believed that "a gift from fate" can come not only in the form of money. It can be:
• sudden luck;
• improving relationships with your loved one;
• recovery from illness;
• the appearance of a true friend.
This is how the sign is interpreted even if your money was stolen. In general, signs about losing something (whether it is a watch, an earring or something else) speak of upcoming changes in life and the beginning of a new stage.
Found money: to take or not to take
But what to do if you find someone else's money? Folk omens advise not to pick it up, especially if you find money at a crossroads.
Many believe that through found money you can "catch" other people's problems or even damage. The same applies to found watches, keys or rings.
There is another explanation: if you found and took someone else's money, you may lose something of yours, for example, your health.
And the one who lost money, on the contrary, can acquire something good. Therefore, it is better not to risk and not to take someone else's.
But if you find your own lost money - be sure to pick it up. It is believed that this will bring good luck in all endeavors. And the larger the amount, the better things will go.
The universe sends signs
Esotericists believe that losing money is a sign from the Universe. If you asked the higher powers for love, luck or success in business, then the lost money can be a kind of "payment" for the fulfillment of your desires.
In this case, you should not get upset, but thank the Universe with the words: “Thank you for taking the money.”
Sometimes losing money can be a warning. For example:
• if you lost money on the way to the store to buy an expensive item, it is better to refuse the purchase;
• if you dropped money at home or in a car, this is a sign that you need to be more economical with your finances;
• if you lost money while traveling, be careful, unexpected situations may happen on the road.
When Losing Money Is a Lesson
Sometimes losing a large sum of money or being deceived by scammers can be a kind of "punishment" for past actions.
Folk wisdom says: "What goes around comes around." If you've lost a lot of money, think about whether you've done anything bad lately?
Here are some reasons why, according to popular beliefs, you can lose money:
1. You deceived someone for your own benefit.
2. You did not repay the debt.
3. You did not help someone in need, although you could have done so.
4. You have the opportunity, but you do not help relatives or elderly parents.
5. You obtained money dishonestly.
If you recognize yourself in this list, maybe it's time to reconsider your life principles? Try to help your loved ones more, be more attentive to other people's problems.
And remember: "dirty" money has never brought happiness to anyone.
What to do if you often lose money
If you notice that you are losing money frequently, this could indicate several things:
• you are too thrifty and economical - try to pamper yourself sometimes;
• you may have been jinxed because of envy - go to church or perform a cleansing ritual;
• you are inattentive to your things - learn to be more organized.
Bottom line: should you believe in omens?
In general, folk signs about losing money are quite optimistic. They say that after the loss, something good will definitely come - be it money, luck or happiness in your personal life.
Sometimes these signs carry an instructive meaning, forcing us to think about our actions and attitude towards money.
But it is worth remembering that signs are not strict rules, but rather folk wisdom accumulated over centuries. They can help to look at the situation from a different angle, but you should not blindly follow them.
The main thing is to remain attentive to yourself and others, earn money honestly and spend it wisely.
And then, even if you sometimes lose small change, overall your financial situation will be stable and reliable.
