If you are looking at your bank statement and see your account balance, then "have" is a better choice. If you are referring to, for example, the sale of your Pink Panther lunchbox on eBay, then "got" is a substitute for "received" and is okay here.

As a simple sentence meaning "look how much money we have," I find "got" to be sub-standard.
It's better to use: Look how much money we have.
As the past tense of "get" then it's past.
