What does Knight of Wands mean for money and finances?
Knight of Wands in a financial reading: what it says about your material situation and what it advises.
In money and finances
Impulsive financial decisions. High risk, occasionally high reward, and not to be counted on.
The card is not against risk; it is against unexamined risk taken at speed because the opportunity was exciting.
Its only useful discipline is size. Risk what its loss would not change, which is advice this figure can follow and the advice to slow down is not.
Upright
Bold, decisive movement. Passion, adventure, charging at it.
Excellent when speed matters more than precision, which is a real category of situation and one where deliberation is the expensive option. Travel and relocation are common literal readings.
As a person he is exciting to be around and the thing he is best at is starting, which is genuinely valuable and is not the same as being able to finish.
Reversed
Recklessness, arrogance, burning out. Starting hard and leaving.
Or the energy blocked: frustration with no outlet, which is this figure's worst state because the volume does not reduce when the direction disappears.
The reading worth watching is the pattern rather than the instance. One abandoned venture is a decision; four is a description.
Keywords

Draw it for yourself
Reading about a card is not the same as drawing one. A single-card reading takes about a minute and answers your question rather than a general one.
