Money is anything that is generally acceptable in payment of goods and services.
Anything which is declared by the state/Govn as money is money.
But wealth is the net worth of an individual, that is, the value of all his assets minus all his liabilities. It includes all his assets such as money, real estate, and personal property.

Wealth= Assets-liabilities
while income is the amount of money that a person received in return for his services, sale of goods, or profit from investments.
Income is the flow of money earning per unit of time a day, week month or a year.
