Money is a means of exchange. Before we had money, people bartered for goods and services. Is this good? Yes.
A certain amount of money is necessary for survival (to provide food, shelter, clothing). This is a fact.
The meaning that individuals attach to money is another matter. Money can't buy happiness, yet we live in a cuture where people are consumers to the point of gluttony. Is this a good thing? No.

Money is good or bad depending on it's purpose. Greed and maliciousness are one side of money. Blessings and good deeds are the other side of money.
We use money to trade/barter for items or services exchanged between two parties. Trade was once done with things owned such as animals and gold. Seeing the items and their worth made trade easier to understand as each party knew the worth of the trade goods.
Money takes reality away from trade and we often fail to perceive the true value or cost when trading.
Money is as how the spender or buyer treats it and most important , the intentions and purposes of each party using it.
How you earn your money is important to your life as you get little "life" support from a job the you don't enjoy. Best to do something you are happy in for less money than something that makes you sick for more.
Being in debt is the worse kind of money occurrence as it beholds you to the lender. A kind of slavery. It's best to pay cash and live within your means.
Good Luck

Bit of a **** question. - Whether it be salt, shells, gold, coins, credit cards - there has to be some unit for exchange of goods other than barter.
There have always been those who have it and there have always been those who don't. And there always will be.
It is not an end but a means to an end. You may have cancer. Money can't cure it but it will certainly make the rest of your life more comfortable than if you didn't have money.
So make sure you go out and make some!!!!

Money, to me, is a thing you only need a minimal amount of. You don't need to be rich to be happy, nor if your poor are you sad. Money can't buy happiness. My family aren't rich, or poor, but we are a happy family and get by just fine. Just think if you have too much money it can cause you all kinds of troubles!!

Money is good. We need it for the whole food, clothing, shelter thing. The LOVE of money (i.e. making it foremost goal in life) is bad.

Money itself is an inanimate object, and, as such, has no goodness or badness as such. It is NOT the money that is good or bad; rather, it is what is done with the money that determines whether it is good or bad.

Money is neither good or bad, it's what we do with it that's the problem, ie: the focus that we give it over nearly everything else.
