Please help! I need to change my financial situation

Hello-
I have been trying to really get my life together lately. For the first time in many years, I am consciously communicating with the Universe (listening, asking, thanking, etc). I am trying to be very aware of my thoughts, as they will become reality.
I hate to sound greedy, but I really need to better my financial situation and I am hoping that my thoughts and relationship with the Universe will help me accomplish this. But I don't know how to go about making these particular thoughts become reality.

Can anyone please help?

thanks in advance from a grateful newbie
