My left palm is itchy and according to elders it means I will have money

My left palm has been itchy these days so I think my monthly salary is already available on my ATM card. It is a common Filipino belief that if it is the left palm which is itchy, money will arrive. On the other hand, if it is on the right palm, that means money will be used. It is like that because we always use the right hand to pay so I don't like it when it is the right palm which is itchy. Do you have the same belief ?

@mysdianait That is just one of the superstitions here. We have too many superstitious beliefs.

Oh, it says if your feet often itch, it means you want to go or travel somewhere.

I have heard the phrase of course. But I don't believe it holds true. But when the left palm gets itchy I do start paying more attention just in case.

My grandma used to say that if the left hand itches, it is bad news coming.
