Why does my button when clicked not register as event?

For some reason, one of the simplest things isn't working. I am trying to make a button that when you click it, it subtracts a currency found in a GUI (Not advanced enough to make leaderboard cash, if you can help with this please tell me how.) However, when I click the button it does nothing! Even crazier, the button updates nothing at all, if I press it, it won't even register it as a click. Here is my the code:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() game.StarterGui.Money.TextLabel.Number.Value = game.StarterGui.Money.TextLabel.Number.Value - 10 end)

Kinda, I did other tests (this is how i know it wasn't the code after clicking the button that was wrong) wolftamer894 50 — 3y

You're modifying the StarterGui. Changes in StarterGui apply when the player respawns and the gui is next cloned to them. you want to modify Player.PlayerGui instead, with something like game.Players.LocalPlayer.Money.TextLabel.Number.Value = "something" (assuming this is a LocalScript, like all gui scripts should be).
