it means that you are spending alot of money

When money "burns a hole in my pocket" it means I have discretionary cash and I am eager to spend it. We say "I have ten dollars burning a hole in my pocket" to mean " I have ten bucks I can't wait to spend!"
It means that you have money to spend and you are ready to spend it.
