Hello, teachers!!

(1) I have no money to buy the book with.
(2) I have no money to buy the book.

I know that (1) is a right sentence, but do you definitely "with" in the end? In my opinion, you are able to understand (1) without "with." By the way, which sentence do you usually use, (1) or (2)?

Thank you in advance.

The second sentence sounds fine to me grammatically, and would probably be the sentence most likely to come out of my mouth (of the two presented).

Best,
