No money to tell fortune _ no money to tell fortune.

What does the fortune teller mean when he says 1984 people don't want money?

Fortune-tellers say that people in 1984 don't want money, which means that people will tell fortune for free these days, but even if 1984 is free, don't go there to calculate. He may find someone else, so locking in the crowd at 1984 may help him or have other purposes.
