why can't everything in the world be free? why does there have to be a such thing as money?

Because that would make everyone in the world more greedy.  If everything was free, people would think there was no problems, but there would be.  It's true when people say money makes the world go 'round, because there would be no love for other people.  People would just care about the free stuff, not each other and their health.  Does that answer your question?

There's no such thing as government money.  All money is taxpayer money.  The government takes it from the taxpayer under threat of imprisonment and deadly force.

I think its fun but seriously, we could be thinking and using the money for important things that we need in life.  For example gas. prices are too high and it could run out. So we should come up with something to help us all whether it be gas, medical or food.. We need to survive.

Well, first you should want in one hand and shit in the other.  After a few days see which one fills up.  Sorry, but there is very little free money in this world when you need it.  However, if your rich it just keeps coming.

You gotta pay for things - nothing is free in life.

Money makes the world go round, unfortunately greed comes with that.  We are the greediest country in the world.  It sucks, because there is so much to marvel at when you look at this country but also so much to mock.

Money runs ever country in the world, not just the US.  \nit is not so humorous when in reality that is what makes the world go around, and the one with the most mola, get to hold the ruling stick.

Money makes the world go around. If it wasn't for money, the place we call home would probably be 50% better then what we live in today. As for myself, I am a soldier of the U.S. army national guard. IV been to Iraq and back and seen how terrible it was over there. And the one reason that place looks like it does is because of lack of...you guessed it. MONEY. I live in an apartment right now with no furniture, nor food, TV, ect. I sleep on an air mattress and I have my laptop with wireless. I am waiting on my re-sign up bonus in a week or 2 to buy the things I need to get ahead again. Couch, TV, phone, ect. and while I sit here with no money yet, I wonder myself "what the hell do all these people really do with their money, all these rich people who just blow it all away because they can" they don’t think about the people who really need it and would put it to good use. Like I said before, i am a soldier of America, and most soldiers who sign up for the army don’t have money so they see it as a way out, a way to get ahead. And they go off and fight a war for people, allot of people, who couldn't give a care in the world. Don’t get me wrong there are also allot of those who really support us troops. But if you think about it, it’s the poor fighting the poor. Simply put. As for me, I don’t really know what people do with their money. But I know he who has a lot will become greedy, and what he already has, he will not be satisfied with. It’s a shame that nowadays it seems you have to have money just to have friends, a love, ect. When I was in school I never had any friends because I was considered low class or poor because my mom didn’t have a job and could buy the things I needed or wanted. Money is everything nowadays. And if you have enough of it, heh, you'd almost be able to play god, you could get away with murder it you had enough money. The world is headed in the wrong direction, and it was headed there ever before it came to be. That’s the way I see it!

It is harder to say that money is not important in living in the world. You'll be branded rare. Cause person that not need money is rare things in our world, and one that need money probably a monk or have other believes, or belong to another religious group, which differs from our normal kind of living.\n\nTry to think that money represent almost all you see and touch.\n\nIt's virtual things represent all the things that you do.\n\n--The world now you living, before you're born and after you die, is a cynical world.\n\nLook all the question in Yahoo! Answer, and what does it represents?

I believe the correct quote is, "the love of money is the root of all evil". But there is plenty of evil in the world that doesn't involve money. And bartering is cool. I don't have any advice for about it though. I'm not really sure what you are asking.

NOTHING in life is free.  Eventually, you have to pay one way or another.

Pretty much pressure. i would hate not being able to do what i want when i want. and not being able to see my family because i would be doing a movie or something. but some things are cool. getting stores to close down for you or going right into a club without waiting. or getting food and drinks for free. even though that doesn't make sense. why would someone who has all the money in the world need stuff for free? hell i have no money i need stuff for free.

Because you can't exchange love for goods.\n\nFace it. We all need goods to survive. Long time ago, we used to exchange goods for goods. Now we exchange money for goods, so everyone needs to get money to get goods.\n\nDon't frown on people that don't *give* freely. We all work hard to provide for ourselves and our loved ones. The world is simply too big and the goods to scarce for people to just start *giving* out of the blue. Factor in there that there are many bad people out there too.\n\nIf you are desperate need of economic aid, there are many foundations out there that can give you and your family a hand. You also gotta try to get yourself outta the gutter... try to learn some skills and qualify for a job and work it up from there. You might say it's hard... but what's easy in this world?
