Not have as much money as it would be perfect
We don't have as much money as it would be perfect
I'm sure this sentence is wrong, but I can't explain why. The thing that keeps me wondering is that, in fact, if you take the same sentence but phrased as follows, it is correct:
It would be perfect for us to have more money.
So why exactly can't we transform this second structure into the first sentence above.

Because it is not transformed accurately. We don't have as much money as would be perfect . The meaningless 'it' disappears with the preposition 'for', since we now (above) have a real subject.
