I am curios to know how many people here questioned the nature of this entity/concept and what theories they produced.

Money can't buy you love, but it can rent it for a while.

I have. I found life to be more enjoyable if I embraced the concept.

I'm a banker. I like it, I like it a lot.

Big money is power, and power can corrupt the soul.

The people that say money can't buy happiness aren't poor.

I say you and I should apply for a government grant of $10 million to test the theory that money doesn't buy happiness.

Without money or any equivalent value system, would all things have to be treated as being of equal inherent value?

Before there was an official currency there were still tons of issues with social class and the like. It's not like the idea of paper cash introduced greed and self indulgence into the world. There were social classes before there was a dollar bill.. "hey! You've only got ONE cow, you're going to shovel horse sh*t for life, while I have FOUR cows and I'm going to be a magistrate"... The End.

I don't understand the question to be quite honest. Question the nature of money? Question why we use 'money' in our society?

Is there anyone here who bartered for their camera?

It was a very generic question to understand what people perceives about money.

I asked myself that question many times in different times of my life, coming out with very different answers.

I think is a very deep mistery and a complex mechanism and we just do not consider it at all, most of the time.

Not exactly bartering, but I got a price match plus another £10 off to make me buy - saved me £140 on the shop price
