Context: I am at a party and I have volunteered to go get some more fruit for the health conscious. 
Tendré que traer alga más y tendré suficiente dinero para comprarla.
I will have to bring some more and I will have enough money to buy it.
Is my Spanish translation correct? Muchas gracias!

Voy a comprar más fruta, ya tengo bastante dinero. I am going to buy more fruit, I have enough money.

Very good idea Ken, Be sure to tell the newer students that "ya que tengo" in this setting means "since I have". :) viejito - viejito, Jul 20, 2012
"ya que tengo" Thanks viejito, I've been using desde in this context, pero siempre tengo una duda. Gracias por la aclaración - Enderby, Jul 21, 2012

I'd just say:
Tendré que traer [unas frutas] más y [creo que] tendré bastante dinero para comprarlas.

How about
Tendré que traer más fruta y me alcanza el dinero para comprarla.
However, instead of using tener que I would probably say voy a traer.

You are using "me alcanza" in the sense of "reaching for the money" in order to buy it? - bandit51jd, Jul 20, 2012
No, it's more like the money reaches me, ie, I have enough money. The opposite is no me alcanza el dinero, I don't have enough money. - Eddy, Jul 20, 2012
"Me alcanza" is a very common way of saying "I have enough (to go around)" - --Mariana--, Jul 21, 2012
Muchas Gracias, Eddy y Mariana! - bandit51jd, Jul 23, 2012
