Value returns as 0

    bank = 0
    cash = 0

    userinput = input('would you like to work? ')

    if userinput == 'y':
        print('working...')
        newcash = 100
        newcash + cash
        print(cash)

When ever I run the program, it would return the cash value to 0.

It is because you have to assign it like that:

cash = newcash + cash

instead of

newcash + cash

In your code, the variable cash is not updating when you doing addition (newcash + cash), returning 0 is correct answer for your current code.I think you want something like that :

bank = 0
cash = 0

userinput = input('would you like to work? ')
if userinput == 'y':
    print('working...')
    newcash = 100
    cash += newcash
    print(cash)

Now you will get your answer.

Instead of using newcash + cash, you want to add the value of the variable newcash to the variable cash like so

cash = cash + newcash

or if you prefer a little "cleaner"

cash += newcash

newcash + cash is a result never assigned to anything. Try calling cash += newcash instead, or cash = newcash + cash.
