"Money". Is it Worth it?

Nobody "has" money. There is no concrete aspect to the experience of "having" money. You can do or buy things with money, and the value is exactly the value of those things. You can hold some money in reserve for the purposes of doing or buying future things, but at no point does the value of the money cease to be a function of those proposed future things. People who don't have any money think that there is a point where you will "have" some money, but the fact is: that never happens. Money has no intrinsic value. You can't eat it, etc.
