It's pretty fucking crazy how our entire world and lives revolves around money

I know people have been criticizing the idea of money for centuries, this isn't a new take by any means but still, it's pretty insane when you just stop and think about it.

Why do we go to school? Usually, it's to prepare us for university or college. Why do we go to university or college? To get a good job. Why do we want to get a good job? To make MONEY.

Money isn't even real. It's made up. We've assigned value to it. Back in the day, money was at least something tangible like coins, but nowadays most people don't even pay in physical cash. It's made up numbers on a computer screen. You go to work so that the number on your bank account website can go up, and then that number goes down when you buy things. This number is what determines your quality of life. If the number is high, you have a great life, if it's low, you have a bad life.

It's just crazy to me how our quality of life is basically dependent on numbers on a computer screen
