Subtracting From Int And Printing

I am making a text based game and have been doing just fine but now but I have run into an error with int. My code so far looks like this:

money = 500
print("You Have $500 To Spend On Your City.  The Population Is 0 People")
input_var3 = input("What Will You Spend Your Money On?  A House Or A Restraunt. ")
if input_var3 == "House":
    money - 100
    print("You Have Spent Your Money On A House")
    print("You Now Have $" + money)
if input_var3 == "Restraunt":
    money - 150
    print("You Have Spent Your Money On A Restraunt")
    print("You Now Have $" + money)

Your money is equal to 500 dollars but if you spend it on a house or restraunt you will have less money and the shell will print how much you have left. However I always get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Jason\Desktop\City Text.py", line 11, in <module>
    print("You Now Have $" + money)
TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly

I have realized that I must make a sting instead of the Int but I am not sure how to do this. Can anyone help?

The money variable is an integer. You can't mix integers with strings when concatenating them together. Use the str() function, which converts an integer to a string:

print("You Now Have $" + str(money))

Also, I think you're intending to take 100 away from the money value. money - 100 just returns 500 - 100, which is 400. If you want to make money equal to 400, do:

money -= 100

Which is equivalent to:

money = money - 100

You can use the str() function. For example:

print("You Now Have $" + str(money))

use:

print("You Now Have $" + str(money))

you can't concatenate a string with a number so convert your number into a string.

You need to store the value inside variable.

if input_var3 == "House":
    money -= 100   # Notice the usage of -=
    print("You Have Spent Your Money On A House")
    print("You Now Have $" + str(money))   # Type casting
if input_var3 == "Restraunt":
    money = money - 150  # Same as -=
    print("You Have Spent Your Money On A Restraunt")
    print("You Now Have $" + str(money))   # Type casting
