I wish I had more money vs I wish I have more money

The correct option is 'I wish I had more money.' This is because 'wish' is used to express a desire for something that is not currently true or possible. In this case, the speaker desires more money, which they do not currently have. Therefore, the past tense form 'had' is used.
