How much do you value the keyboard you are using??? And when it no longer works will you be reluctant to dispose of a tool that no longer serves??

I value the keyboards use and valuing it is caring about it therefore I care about it.

No you don't "care" you will maintain it in good working order but to me when you say care involves human emotions and anthropomorphising an inanimate object so no I don't "Care" for the tool...I WILL use the tool and strive to maintain it's usefulness and then when it no longer serves i WILL discard it or exchange it for something other...this is my view of money/ currency.

If you didn't care you would not be motivated enough to value it and use it.

Again you are trying to apply a human emotion to something that does not require it. What part of I Do Not Care are you refusing to understand??

If you don't care at all you're not motivated to do anything.

You are making an erroneous and unjustified assumption. You asked me about money and am now trying to project your apathy onto me??

I'm saying that if you didn't care about money you wouldn't be bothered when you need it and so therefore wouldn't do anything about it. Caring is motivation not caring isn't.

It is not what you asked. you asked if I had an emotional attachment to money and I answered you.
You don't want to accept that it seems.
Not everything is black and white...Yes??

I didn't ask if you had an emotional attachment to money I asked if you cared about it. And as I said, if you didn't care about it you wouldn't be bothered enough when you needed it to do anything about it (caring is motivation not caring isn't).
