To say "the money" implies a specific amount or origin of money, to just say "money" does not specify how much or its origin. In the context of the conversation, a person is referring to a specific: "the money" that had been previously discussed. Just "money" could mean any amount of money from any origin. Consider the context: "He said he would bring the money....." [that we had agreed on: $10,000 in cash] "He said he would bring the money....." [that was stolen from the bank] OR "He said he would bring money....." [but he didn't say how much] Does that help?

For your specific question: You say "the" money, because this is something you may have already discussed previously. So "the" refers to the money, as it is the subject from your previous conversation.
