It appears to me that you have an obsession with money - I'm only stating the problem right now, and would like to offer a solution, but it's easier said than done.
It just seems to me that you have a type of personality (i.e. you are the type of person) who is a thinker, that is, you want to reason things out so that you have full understanding. I recognize your question is a "how" question, but I suspect you really want to understand, which is a "why" question.
It is possible that God is not immediately dealing with your money obsession right now, because He wants to dig deeper into your psyche to let you know yourself better. We all have besetting sin until we overcome by faith, and so we do need to understand, or at least to walk through it in order for our faith in Christ to grow, and that we come to understand just what our faith really is.
Right now in your current condition, you are breaking a spiritual law. Just as Jesus said that adultery goes as deep as the desire to have a woman, so also the greedy thoughts about money is an equivalent sin against the grace and the law of God - "Do not covet..." I won't go into the details of how this permeates everything we do and think. I believe you know this already, or you wouldn't have posted your question.
The point is that we must first come to understand just how evil we are in every way before we will be convinced enough to surrender to God and put our faith in Christ. As long as we are not yet convinced that the evil in us is hopeless bondage, we will not seek Christ's power for deliverance. We will keep trying our religious methods to overcome the sin we think we ought to overcome. But the grace of God tells us that Christ is our deliverer, that is, the power of the Spirit that God has given us to be holy in every way, including our thought life, and this requires a walk of faith.
Therefore, a walk of faith has at least these elements involved: trusting in the trustworthiness of God's word, a knowledge of Christ's work of atonement and a trust in it, trusting that God has given you His Spirit (and at least asking Him, and trusting Him for the answer), asking the Lord to guide you in your life not only in your behavior but also in your thoughts, and trusting Him to do it because He said "I am the Good Shepherd."
The Bible exhorts us to gain an assurance of salvation, that is, an experience to be assured that God has chosen us and delivered us from sin, which the book of Hebrews calls "sabbath rest" - Heb. 4:9 "there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God." The context of this book shows us that this rest is what we experience in this life that measures up to what Jesus said in Mat. 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
I get that you are seeking this rest from your struggle about money. I'm just saying that you should consider your weakness to fulfill the law's requirements, and to get on with putting your faith in Christ's power to deliver you from your obsession/addiction.
You might also need to get into a support group (for example Celebrate Recovery).
Hope this helps.
