I'm out 500 bucks

[Siavash2015]

Hello everyone.
In the TV show (how I met your mother) Barney tries to persuade Ted to bring an escort to the banquet but Ted doesn't want it.

Barney: look I'm just trying to expand your horizons a little bit tonight, if you're uninterested, fine, I'm out 500 bucks. Whatever

What does I'm out mean there?

(Thank you so much in advance)

It means "(in that case) I lost / I lose $500."

Thank you very much is it a frequent phrase in conversations? Would you please make some examples of this usage?
Unfortunately I couldn't find any examples in the dictionaries

Yes, it's common in conversation, at least in the US. It may derive from the expression "to be out of pocket":

You're going to have to pay me for those parts. Otherwise I'm $50 out of pocket, not to mention my time.
