Haggai 1:5-6
5 Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. 6 You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."
In the scripture above the Lord is speaking through the prophet Haggai. The Lord is explaining that no matter what is done by the people, they cannot prosper the way they desire. Disobedience to God will transfer into every area of life.
Proverbs 17:16
16 Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?
God is the embodiment of wisdom. When we do not heed to his ways we are setting ourselves up to loose anything and everything he has blessed us with. People, opportunities and material things can all be blessings from God. When we take for granted what he has placed before us then we stand to have it taken from us and given to someone else who is ready to receive.
