Object or reflexive pronoun

Please, guys, which of the two examples is the correct one? And why?

1) Take some money with YOU, just in case.
2) Take some money with YOURSELF, just in case.

I don't know, but it seems the second example is the correct one. But I mostly hear the first one.

Thanks for your attention.

The first is correct. Preposition complements, also called objects, are required, not reflexive pronouns. Reflexive pronouns are used after nominative case pronouns are used: You should give yourself a break.
