Moyes celebrated 500 games in charge of the Toffees at the weekend by progressing to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory at Bolton in the fourth round.
Following the win over the Trotters, the Scot reiterated he is content with the financial situation at Goodison Park and has been since he was handed the reins in 2002.
"When I took the job 500 games ago, I knew the situation wasn't going to be having lots and lots of cash to spend," he told Sky Sports.
"I cannot suddenly turn around and say 'Hey, where's the cash?' because that wasn't in the agreement.
"I was reading in the programme before the game that in the past 10 years we have only finished in the bottom half of the Premier League twice so we have improved as a club and grown.
"A lot of my time in the next week will be devoted to trying to get someone in but more of my time will be devoted to trying to win the games we have.
"I will tell the chairman what we need and hope we can do it together. I know exactly, he gives me every penny."
Even so, the 49-year-old believes he will recruit at least one new face before the window slams shut on Thursday night.
He said: "We are pretty straightforward at the club, if you don't have it you can't spend it. But if I have to have a bet on whether we will get someone in, then I would back myself to do it.
"I can't tell you which position we are looking for because sometimes in the January window it's a question of looking for a number of options and seeing who comes along."
