I am wondering if my sentence sounds natural. Is it correct to use just "money" in my sentence?
Bob was unwilling to lend money to his brother because he was a compulsive gambler.

Although logically it's clear which one of them is the compulsive gambler, the sentence is technically ambiguous. Bob could be the gambler.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
