There is a famous saying that greed breeds poverty, which is also esoteric. Esotericists claim that greed is the main karmic cause of poverty. If a person realizes this, then poverty is not terrible for him. However, there are very few such people, since not everyone can notice in themselves greed or its signs, since this means admitting shortcomings in oneself. Admitting shortcomings means realizing your imperfection, which badly affects a person's false ego. In order to see greed in yourself, you need to have a fairly high level of spiritual development.
The potential for generosity
The potential for generosity is greed in the circle of the person's false ego. It is important to understand that the level of your greed can be determined by where the money goes and for what. If a person has recently spent money on everything to which the word “mine” can be added, including on “my” relatives and “my friends”, then this signals that the potential for selfless return to the person's ego is completely blocked. This means that the person is very greedy. If a person is greedy, then he should not expect good welfare.
Do not think that buying and giving gifts to relatives and friends is a sign of selflessness and generosity. This is not at all an act of generosity. All people give gifts to each other. You might think that all people are kind and generous to each other. Where does greed come from, then? A huge number of people cannot change their money karma for the better due to the fact that they cannot recognize greed in themselves. Everything here is like in medicine, in order to cure a disease, it needs to be diagnosed.
What is the right way to give?

Many people have heard that the more a person gives, the more he receives. But this is true only in the case when a person knows how to give. Is correct does not mean you need to give someone a gift, and under what circumstances it is done, and a sincere motivation for buying and gift giving. The Universe always sees when a gift is made with a sincere desire and impulse. Sometimes a person himself is not aware of his own selfish motives. Sometimes a person can tell everyone about his charity, even if he really spent a lot of money on it, but this is not a guarantee of his generosity, but rather, on the contrary, he is trying to attract attention to himself, which means that he helped people out of selfish motives.
If a person performs harmonious actions, spends money to help others, without thinking that he will also receive any profit from this, then such a person can be quite guaranteed to get good welfare, because the Universe sees disinterestedness. Greed hasn't helped anyone yet. In an effort to save his money, a person only loses it. This does not mean that you need to waste your money, but the motivation for spending money should not be self-interest and greed.
