I think the answer is
A tooth
Lose me once and get rich.
In some countries when a child loses their baby teeth they get money from the tooth fairy.
Lose me again and get poor.
Losing a tooth in the same place a second time is not good and you can be poorer (figuratively) for it.

Is it
A trick/trap?
Explanation
If you fall for a trick once, then you become wise to it. But, if you fall for the same trick again, then you were never wise to it.

Could it be:
Zeroes
Reasoning:
If all your bank accounts are 0's then you have no money, but if you lose those 0's then you must now have money and be rich :)
If you lose all those 0's you now have on the end of your bank account balance, then you are poor again. (Ex. 100000 --> 1)

I thought it was
Inhibitions
Reason
Lose them and you can become free possibly to make your fortune.
However, once if you lose them when you are rich you can quickly lose everything.
