"Money". Is it Worth it?

People who don't have any money think that there is a point where you will "have" some money, but the fact is: that never happens. Money has no intrinsic value. You can't eat it, etc.

The only exception would be that many of those "things" you buy with money are immediately depreciated the moment you leave the store.
