^We need money to have a currency,
to be able to trade our things to others' things we can't produce ourselves efficiently,
for a common known value for items so you can for example sell a house for a lot of money you are able to gradually spend on goods, instead of having to trade it to just a huge amount of someone's household items, food and such.
So that people will have competition so that everyone works harder in attempt to get more things to boost their social status (it's part of human nature to strive for this, communism just does not work) to have a better chance of getting as healthy mate as possible to reproduce with so that their children would be succesful in life and be able to repeat the process with less effort than you had to.
We need money for the society to work. It's not the money that causes problems, it's the people who want it so much that they end up doing anything for it.

Stop bumping useless threads.
Currency is a word invented by man, religeon is a word invented by man, creation is a skill invented by man.
If none of these things were conceived, we'd be walking around like morons, stuck in the stone age.
Currency is what people invented as a "fair trade" for objects. Only the kings workers mine all of the gold, or the US government officials print the bills.
None of these things are actualy needed in life, money is an object of no value.
So if life isn't worth living, why did we invent these things?

Implying that without religion we'd still be stuck in the stone age, when actually dark ages were followed by religious causes; progress of science was slowed down. Here you say that currency is something that we had to conceive in order to develop, but further in your post you say how money isn't needed?

Currency is simply a mean of making the society work; acquire more wealth by working harder, and by working harder the society is improved. Your example of 'workers mining all the gold' is exaggeration; Someone has to provide all the food and goods for the workers themselves, so they were the minority of providing means of creating currency.US government officials are another minority, another example of creating objects of which value is stable and thus trade works better than by just trading an item to an item or items.
None of these things are actualy needed in life, money is an object of no value.
If some weird thing prevented us from having a currency, life would go on, but people wouldn't change in their habits. Only thing that would happen would be an a economical depression due to that formerly directed currencies would now be vanished, resulting in a huge slowing down in getting shit done.

What things? Money? It is a mean of marketing for those who follow their instincts of succeeding in their lives. We live most of our lives without wondering if life is worth living, because it is much easier not to think about it. Daily habits and rewards we get from working are generally the only reason we exist, that we are here today as beings who can think abstract things.
Didn't let me post without text outside the quote.

I find everything in life meaningful, both good and bad. I see the good as well... good. And I see the bad as trials for my faith. Money is unimportant to me, b/c i plan on becoming a missionary...

I'm not gonna lie life is worth it depending if the universe favors you, so far I feel quite neglected by the universe, but if you like trivial things such as ipods, games, and other minor technological advancements, yeah I guess life is worth it especially if you are quite interested in the future and how everything is gonna go down, Curiosity is a bitch.
