How about: He bought an apple ON his money? Does it mean the same as 'FROM his money'? Is there any difference in meaning/usage?

I'd say

He bought an apple with his money.
(It means He bought an apple by using his money.)

Nobody would say on his money for that meaning.

Dear CalifJim,

FROM is also ok? (He bought an apple from his money.)

Thanx.
