thriftlessness
Careless with money
Thriftlessness is the quality of being careless with money or resources—spending freely without thought for the future.
Where thrift means careful management and frugality, thriftlessness is its opposite: wasteful, improvident, heedless of economy.
His thriftlessness left him broke by month's end.
