    Money plays an important role in everyones' lives, being the means of obtaining the majority of goods and services available today. Some people take it for granted, yet others become obsessed with coins and notes, hoarding it for various reasons.
    How do you feel about the use of and dependency on money? Do you support it, or do you think we should go back to trading goods and services instead? Do you think they should be free with everyone supporting each other, or do you think that wouldn't work?

    Lets say, that, this was a time where money didnt exist. So, lets say you needed 10kg of rice, because you dont want to starve and want to survive. However, the dealer says that to give a computer for this bag of rice. Now, you cant see that this is fair, aint it? A computer is way expensive than 10kg of rice. But you need to get it. However, money blocks this problem, and gives equality to trading. Many people think that money, is wrong. However, making money can sustain relationship with friends, your family, and even your girlfriend. One of the main problems of divorce, is the dissagreement of money! So the main reason is, money is good. Weather the people have a lot of money, is mostly because how much effort they put into it. it makes you enjoy the necessities and pleasure of life, such as clothes, games, and houses.

    Money makes the world go round. We all want it, despite how we feel about it. I make money so I can pay my bills and try to live comfortably. I work insane hours to do this (roughly 144 biweekly) so that when the time comes, my loved one and I can have a good life.

    Same with @[member="Synthesia"]. Money is the medium of exchange that most everyone can access. Bartering for items takes more time (thus value) to find a "happy medium" or even the item that you wish to do business upon. Money is far more helpful than it is detrimental in most cases. The philosophy for this is "neutrality of money", a classical economics idea--money doesn't choose anything for its holder.
