Which "money plant" is it? I know two very different plants commonly known as money plant...and no doubt there are others! :) One is a succulent, also known as jade plant; the other is a vine also known as devil's ivy. Either way, it does sound like over-watering - the succulent will need even less water than the vine. Try letting the pot dry out almost completely then start watering again. Indoor plants are most commonly killed by over-watering. Make sure they get indirect, bright light during the day and water sparingly only when the surface of the pot feels dry. When the rain comes, try to get your pots outdoors for some fresh water. :)

Any idea where I could get a money plant? I thought it might be a nice housewarming gift.

Its overwatered . the soil needs to be completely dry. the plant is a succulent and will get the moisture from the air - buy a spray water container like you may use for ironing and spritz it one a week Take the pot out of the container and stand it on paper towels or kitchen wipes - the leaves will shrivel up and wither and fall of but it will reshoot
