money exists way back in the history. before money, there is a barter system, which means, exchange system. you get my something when u exchange something that is yours. but money is introduced, n the exchange system works much better with money. we work coz we gotta have money to buy clothes and eat. farmers need money to plant more fruits so more ppl like u and me can eat n survive. farmers cant provide free, coz imagine all ppl demands the farmer for free things, farmer cant simply provide all the food for everyone in the world !! how can u give 1 ice cream to all ppl in the world? so this is where money comes in. some ppl had to die of hunger, n some ppl can live. some live better coz they have more money. they have more money coz they work harder than the rest.

This is such a great question!!
Isn't it awful? We have to work to more than survive? I ask myself the same question and I always admire people who have the difficult jobs, the laborers and dirty, tough jobs, I think it's awful to work so much and then for what? To do it all over again another week, I don't know, I think a lot of people like you and I are exhausted, I'm very burnt out,
I've worked so much, always went to 2 schools, high school and college at the same time, then college and had 2 part time jobs, and then worked and worked and worked, sure I got very far and have a life style I do enjoy, but it costs so much and have to work to maintain it, keep a roof over your head, more than that, pay a mortgage and on and on, but it's exhausting, especially when you didn't make time to socialize a whole lot because all you did was work. So believe me I know. We can't get everything free here as long as we are on this planet, since the time of Adam and Eve, she messed it all up and God told Adam he'd have to work hard to earn the bread, and so now, because we have no Adam, we must work us women to earn the bread. We are the bread winners, Find someone to marry, if you haven't or stop working for a while, I did, for about 6 months I had reserves, but back to it.
Life wouldn't be boring!! If you knew what to do with your time, if you traveled and knew what to do, but money wasn't a problem. I'd take that any day!

It's an old economic principle - "there's no such thing as a free lunch." Even if it's free to you, somebody, somewhere had to pay for it with money and or work.
I personally feel that there's great personal satisfaction and dignity found in earning a living. I'm not a baby, I'm a grown woman, and I like being able to take care of myself.
I understand if you don't like your job, or it's just hard to make ends meet. But I promise you don't have to remain a victim of this. You can set goals, you can get into an employment you would enjoy more, and you can actually have fun making money work for you.
good luck!

You don't have to work, money only means anything if you need to buy something and if everything were free why would anybody work? Think about the hospital. If everything was free why would the nurse go to work? Or the custodian go clean the bathrooms there? They would stay home and you would die because nobody is there to treat your illness. Money is the incentive to get people to do work.
