It is not a local script, it’s a normal script
Fails to work how? Throwing a block of code and saying it doesn’t work isn’t helpful to those who are looking through the thread and want to offer a potential fix.
Also, don’t handle Guis through a normal script, that’s bad practice. Use a LocalScript to handle the Gui and leave important interactions (giving of tool and subtraction of money) to the server. Use a remote to bridge this action.
local player = script:FindFirstAncestorOfClass(“Player”)
Turn this into a local script
Use
local player = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
Send a remote fire to handle the purchase on the server

The idea is if the player has enough cash on their leaderstats it gives them the tools, but it is saying they don’t have enough money, if I changed the leaderstats during a test play would it work?
You’re most likely changing it on the client which won’t replicate then
Okay, I’ll test this on a live server, I’ll tell you whether or not this works.
No, that’s not the problem. It’s that you’re handling the Gui wrong. You shouldn’t use a server script for any kind of interface. A fundamental problem is your implementation itself and you should fix that before you go on to try and debug the problem, which is a product of the bad code structure in the first place.
