金はいくらも持ってない。

English Translation

I have little money.

This Japanese expression is correct and very natural, but we don’t usually say this these days. It sounds a bit old-fashioned.

FYI: いくら means “how much”, but いくら means

  • “many/much” when it is used in a positive sentence
  • “little/a small portion of” when it is negated.
