Paper money

[LukeMC]

I don't want to come to any generalizing conclusions, but look, I personally place no value to money. It is something that I wish I could live without and know I could if I was able to garner the proper eco-friendly sources such as solar panels and various green materials that allow a life of renewable consumption without the need to place further pressure on the grid of both electronics and economics.

I think that by taking a look into the history of money you could gain a greater understanding of where its value has come from. Yes, the paper itself is essentially worthless, but what it represents is certainly not. Also, you say you may be able to live without money. What about the rest of the world? And if they couldn't, how do you reconcile this with the idea of money having no worth? If the world would collapse without this "valueless" money, is it truly without value? (My questions here are almost rhetorical unless you answer that the rest of the world could live without money).

I always like to think that it isn't money that makes people happy, but what you do with it that can.

In most cases yes, but some people quite genuinely love the money itself. My dad for example (the little he has )

Thanks.
