That makes sense. Never experienced anything like that in my life. Always had enough money.

Money is the entire system of control and power. But we forget it's not real, unlike air, water and food. Humans came up with money and humans can remove it too.

Not saying we should go back to bartering. Someone more educated than me would have to come up with alternatives that doesn't cause misery and pain to the human race.

Fun fact: The whole "bartering system" was mostly a myth anyways.
