If I understand correctly you want to store the amount of money in a
variable as a number that can be changed from many places within the code.

Say you have:

    money = 0

    def do_some_adventuring():
        ... # Add some money

You can "add some money" with:

        global money # Allow changing money from within the function
        money += 10 # for example

Is that it?

Note that normally you'd have some class of player with a money attribute
which can be accessed, but as a guess from the question I'm not sure you
know about classes yet.
