I think that life would be better with money cause if we dont have money then there wouldnt be people working to keep everything up. Just think, there wouldnt be any cars, stores, bars, cause people arent going to work for free you know what i mean.

We dont have money so that some people can be rich and others poor. We have money so that value can be nominaly assighned to items through a supply and demand equilibrium. money has an allocative function too. it assigns resources to where they are most needed and away from ventures where the nominal cost is more than the benefits. It is needed for an economic market to funtion. People would still be classed even if there was no physical money. Thats just how people are sadly.
I dont think that there should be such huge disparities in income distribution however. People who work hard should be paid a decent wage. If the work is valuable to society it should be rewarded not just if it takes a degree to do it.
Also if there was no reward for production so why would people work in the first place. The government would have to force people to work for no pay to produce the free goods. Sounds like communism to me

I just don't think it would work. First there was the "barter system" and then we evolved into the sophisticated money system we have today. Someone would always take more than their share and claim to have a good reason for doing so. Plus it's important to learn how to work for what we get and to do that there needs to be some kind of reward. The different classes are import an in a lot of ways but it doesn't seem fair that because they are rich that group gets more breaks.!

When there was no money, there was barter system, people used to give something in order to get something else. Money only makes this imbalance a little balanced. If their will be no money in the world then the rich and poor people will be judged by their property, wealth, immovable assets etc. I agree with you that something like the discrimination between the rich and the poor should not be there but whom do you think will work like a sweeper or a gutter-cleaner then. Think yourself, whenever you have a sweage problem in your urinal, you call a person who takes money to fix it, who do you think is going to do it if there'll be no money. Or can you fix it yourself. Have you ever thought that in this " No money" scenario, people can ask for pleasure with your women in return of doing some favour like just giving you some vegetables.....
Think about it.

A world without money and everyone working together would be ideal. Then maybe we could get some good politicians for a change.

i think we would need money not for status in society but just to use as exchange because if we didnt than people would be taking advantage whats "free" and we would still have poor people because of the rush to get whats free. just recycleign and ect wouldnt be enough. we would need some sort of exchange for products
