Galrads. Money is literally only a means to an end...replace it with rocks...and you now have rocks instead of money and a rock account...Imagine the days of exchanging and apple for a pear...who decides the value now...how nice it tastes for you...

Maybe I am closed minded and astigmatic but I haven't worked for a living since 2007. however, my Money still does. It erases my utility bills, puts food in my belly and makes national and international travel possible. Rocks wont do any of that. wave

It depends on whether you are happy just being alive or happy to fulfill your desires.

By the way, money is not needed just to stay alive, but money is definitely needed to fulfill your desires. If you have a lot of desires, then money will also be short to fulfill them.

Money makes people happy because society tells them it does. There are millionaire who are miserable because they are not multi millionaires. There are poor who have a roof, bed and basic needs whom are extremely happy.
Barter is a hard idea due to values. A society must decide a chicken is not worth a calf because of various factors. Object chosen as currency makes it easier, whether it be paper, coin, metals or sea shells. At what point is enough enough? Also how one values oneself. Would you sleep with the grossest and ugliest person for a million dollars? Some would...some wont.
How many cars, planes, homes, land, antiques or whatever can one own? Or does that peasant couple enjoying true love in that basic cottage have what money cant buy?dunno
