Money/dollars

2. Hell, I didn't even have two dollars to buy myself lunch.
3. She gave me a dollar to buy anything I wanted.
4. Here is money to buy shoes.
5. There's a few dollars to buy food.
I think in sentences 1,2,3,4,5
"to go to the doctor" grammatically modifies "money"
"to buy myself lunch" grammatically modifies "two dollars"
"to buy anything I wanted" grammatically modifes "a dollor" .
"to buy shoes" grammatically modifies "money"
"to buy food" grammatically modifies "a few dollars"
So I mean the infinitive phrases seem to adjectively modify "money". "two dollars", "a dollar", "money", "a few dollars"
Q1) Is my analysis correct?
Q2) Are sentences 1,2,3,4,5 correct English and grammatical?

fire1I don't have money to go to the doctor.
The way I see it, this is a truncated expression, much like "a nice place to live (in)." It might help to think of these as "I don't have money (with which) to go to the doctor."
