Money in dreams is usually about worth and security rather than actual finance. Finding it, losing it, being unable to pay — each reflects how resourced you feel and what you believe you are owed. The amounts are symbolic. The feeling in your chest when you counted it is the real content.

Which way your version reads
Finding money often shows up when you have discovered a resource in yourself — a skill you undervalued, support you did not know you had, time freed up. Notice whether you kept it or worried it belonged to someone else. Guilt about found money in a dream tends to mirror difficulty accepting good things without earning them twice.
Loss dreams usually track a drain on something non financial — energy going to a relationship that gives nothing back, time taken by obligations, credit for work that went to someone else. Theft in particular carries the sense of something taken without consent. Ask what has been quietly extracted from you lately and by whom.
This is an adequacy dream. It maps onto the feeling of not having enough of whatever a situation demands — experience, confidence, energy, the right words. The public embarrassment in these dreams is the clue. It is less about scarcity than about being seen as insufficient, which is a different and more social fear.

Take it to a notebook rather than to a decision. A dream is useful when it makes a question sharper, not when it hands you a verdict about your health, your money or another person.
Questions
There is a long folk tradition saying so, and no reason to think a dream forecasts income. What it does reliably show is your current relationship with worth and security, which is more useful anyway.
Often generosity that feels good, sometimes over giving that does not. The tone tells you which. If the dream felt light, it usually reflects a season of having enough to share.
