The best. People would be more at peace with one another.
Life would go on for the sake of living it as opposed to survival. And I think that would relax people enough to be more decent and evolve to become more humanitarian.
That should end world hunger surely too.

I don't think it's possible to get to a world where everyone had the same amount of money without the use of force to redistribute wealth. And to maintain the same amount of money, that would mean everyone would have to get paid the same amount of money, whether they were a brain surgeon or a janitor, or even whether they worked at all or not. Is that _really_ the kind of world you'd want to live in? What incentive would there be to do anything? Culture, society and the economy would all rot.
I think history has shown that the most prosperous societies come about from having equality of opportunity, while the least prosperous are the result of equality of end results. The former gives people the freedom to go as far as they want and are able to, while the latter punishes any effort to do more than what is needed to survive, because any rewards from extra effort you put in will just get redistributed to others.
Both people as individuals and society as a whole are at their best when we are allowed to reap the full rewards of our efforts. Because people inherently have differing levels of talent in different areas, naturally the outcomes are also going to be different. Any effort to equalize those outcomes is necessarily going to involve punishing work by taking rewards away, thus bringing the best of society down while still failing to raise the lowest.

It would be extremely boring. I am not saying, as you have written no violence with a question mark after it, that i agree with violence. But if everyone had the same amount of money, then wouldn't we all be living in some sort of same lifestyle?!

Nothing marvellous ever could happen if that were to be the rule of the game, as there could not be a situation as dramatic as unequal distribution of wealth among people who all claim to be just as equal as anyone else, and if so then all aiming to have a superior sense of equality of their own better self which they would not hesitate to demonstrate. Nevertheless, if the money were to be redistributed equally among unequal people, then accumulation wealthy would start with an immediate effect around people with better sense of value of things of the world, especially money, people with a better sense to use whatever they have for maximum gain in return.
It would a mere waste of time with same outcomes in the end as what we have now, I am afraid!

Floccinaucinihilipilificator, alas you'd need far more violence than you have now to enforce the equal redistribution of the entire worlds wealth every pay day!
Passion is essential: at least you are trying to understand the problem rather than just moan about the system that perpetuates it.

It is generally reckoned that if the world's money were divided out equally in the morning, by evening it would all be back as it was before the money was shared out. This is because whatever attitude people have to money isn't going to change with what they have. They will still be skinflints, cautious, or spendthrifts.

Chaos would reign. Innovation, creativity, and productivity would vanish. The incentive to work hard and produce goods or provide services would disappear. It would be just like the communist countries in the old eastern bloc. Beautiful store fronts displaying everything you need, but only empty shelves inside.

That world exists in Star Trek. They went on a mission where no man has been before.

There will ALWAYS be people who would want more money and will resort to violence to get it.
