What does Knight of Cups mean for money and finances?

Emotional spending. Money follows the heart, sometimes to its cost.

Associated with generosity that is spontaneous rather than budgeted, and with purchases made because of how they felt at the time.

Reversed, a promise about money that was sincerely meant and not kept. The card treats that as characteristic rather than dishonest, which is the more useful reading when it appears between two people.

An offer made from the heart. Romance, an invitation, a creative proposal.

Follow what moves you. Grace and idealism in action, and the card genuinely means action: the Knight is moving, which distinguishes him from the Page's feeling that has not gone anywhere yet.

As a person he is warm, attentive and demonstrative. What he offers is real at the moment he offers it, and the tradition is careful to put it that way rather than more warmly.

Moodiness, unrealistic promises, somebody in love with being in love.

The last is the most precise. What is being enjoyed is the feeling rather than the person, and the person is interchangeable in a way that becomes apparent later.

Also read for feeling that never becomes action: the intention announced repeatedly and never enacted. Reversed, the horse stops and only the declaration remains.
