Hey, I don't think you fully understand Lua syntax. Take a loop around to this page, http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=RBX.Lua_Glossary#While_Loop. While loops need a condition and of course the do-end.

Here's what your code should look like.

local money = script.Parent.Parent.MoneyValue

while true do
    money.Value         = money.Value + 1
    script.Parent.Text  = money.Value
    wait() -- if you don't add this, you will crash!
end
