From Lesson 419:Overwhelming factors (ไหนจะ...)·Thai

Questions & Answers about ไหนจะ　รายจ่าย　จิปาถะ　เงิน　ฉัน　หมด　แล้ว　ค่ะ

The lesson says ไหนจะ is used to list multiple burdensome things, but this sentence only lists one thing. Is that normal?
Yes! While ไหนจะ often appears multiple times to list different factors (what with X, what with Y), you can use it just once. When used with a single phrase like รายจ่ายจิปาถะ (miscellaneous expenses), it implies a strong sense of being overwhelmed by the sheer variety within this one category, or it suggests that other unspoken burdens exist in the background.
How exactly is the word จิปาถะ used here?
จิปาถะ means miscellaneous, various, or sundry. It acts as a modifier and directly follows the noun. At the B2 level, you will mostly see it collocated with words involving chores, tasks, or money, such as รายจ่ายจิปาถะ (miscellaneous expenses) or เรื่องจิปาถะ (miscellaneous matters).
Why is there no possession word like ของ in the phrase เงินฉัน?
In spoken Thai, possession is frequently simplified by placing the pronoun directly after the noun. While เงินของฉัน is grammatically complete, dropping ของ to say just เงินฉัน sounds much more natural, punchy, and conversational, especially when making a casual complaint like this one.
How does หมด function in the phrase เงินฉันหมดแล้ว?
Here, หมด acts as the main verb or adjective meaning to be used up or to run out. Combined with แล้ว (which indicates a change of state), เงินฉันหมดแล้ว literally translates to 'my money has now run out.' It is a very common everyday phrase for saying you are broke or out of cash.
