Well Everything does have a cost. Maybe not in money, but in cash, good or services. Money came about as a medium to allow trade with multiple people and later multiple tribes, cultures, nations.
Though sadly Banks have undermined the fair value of money, making it in essence worthless, as there's nothing to back it up as it was back when we were all on the gold standard. there's a book, called "The Creature from Jekyll Island" Which explains a lot on how this happened. Being away from the gold standard allows banks to assign value to money, and not only that allows the fed to print up as much as they want. The bad side is that our government owes gold to the fed for printing money that isn't backed by gold.
But back to the original question, Everything costs unless you want to do or make or learn about it all yourself on your own. Cost is incurred when anyone else does anything for you. Money is just a means of trade.
