There is a big difference between...

And such people shouldn't be having children for other reasons. If you would have a child, only to abandon them: you should not have had that child in the first place.

And who the hell told you that one's quality of life isn't about money? Money is one of the most important factors in determining life quality: Can you pay for heating, food you like, a decent house, a decent car, media and entertainment, etc.? It is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT factor in determining quality of life. Resources and comforts are both purchased by money, and without money: one must live a very simple and often terrible life.

Take away every person's money, and see how far their quality of life deteriorates: Back into the stone age.

Money is nothing more than a motivational tool to encourage people to work. I hate money. I see it as a major restriction. There are so many things I could do if money wasn't an issue. If I could gain something or contribute without the need for money, I could. Work to gain something? I've done it.
Money in the natural sense is nothing more than ink on paper but from the human perspective is something of worth because it's something that gets you things. You swap it for something else in return. Believe it or not but before the coin was first introduced, people traded clothing and food amongst other resources.

It is possible to motivate work with something other than money. Anyway, money encourages crime and corruption. If no one had money, we'd be working for some other cause.

Money is value in our current world, which is the only world I have mentioned here. Even without a representation of simple value: the poor would still have nothing of value. Money only allows for efficient and simple trade... you would have crime and greed with or without it. Those same criminals 'generated' by lack of money would simply become criminals 'generated' by lack of having anything of value.

I'm happy without money. It's fucking nice to have but I don't need much, only the essentials. I'm not a materialistic person. And a computer or two is a nice bonus of course

Happiness and well-being in general, is just an internal thing for me. Like I said, I'm not a materialistic person (but I am a materialist of course ).

You probably aren't at the poverty level then I don't advocate having more money than you need or could ever want... but a computer is something just about everyone has a right to own

Would you be as happy starving?
