@Artwark
Would people work and progress if everything was free? Most likely not, everyone would sit around getting lazy and complacent.

Nice Avatar! though I don't get why you use girly stuff instead of manly stuff(Not that I care about it but still....makes me wonder).

@CapnPancakes

I don't really know how this works. If money exists, people have problems but if money isn't there, that's a bad thing?

How would it give no progress if things were for free?

After so long...I'm back. Don't ask why

My only theory in this is that to avoid shortage of resources, this money thing was made for that.

It's because the only alternative is to take what isn't yours. Trading was invented as a means of getting what you want through mutually beneficial means. Money was invented as a way of making that process simpler and easier, by placing a less arbitrary value on something, thus allowing everyone to get something so long as they have enough money that meets that minimum value. Not much more to it than that. All resources are finite, so it's the only way people can have stuff without killing eachother.

Money has nothing to do with problems, nothing at all, people make problems. But we are not the only species that does that to our own, many other animals have also been observed making the lives of their own difficult for selfish reasons. Almost all species are inherently territorial, we need resources to live and thus, by-proxy, we will defend those resources as much as we defend our life directly.

Money has become a scape-goat, because people don't understand what it is. The numerical value is nothing more than an equivalency value, instead of one car being worth 100 head of cattle, we say the car is worth 10,000 units of money, making the cow worth 100 units of money each. Of course the actual value, as even with barter and trade, changes based on many factors, one big one is supply and demand.
