Did you ever wish it don't exist and we still have the old ways of trading goods? Sometimes i do wish that money dont exist because it seems like we cant live without money anymore, and mostly it is the cause of crimes all over the world, it makes many people greedy, very stress and suicidal too. It seems like everything evolves around money. But I am also wondering what would it be like if money haven't been made? What do you think?

Then all of us should carry a weighing scale of some sorts and large amount of goods in order to trade for another good or service. Life would be difficult without money.
PS: People can get greedy even without money. Think about those Pharaohs in ancient Egypt who owns almost all the resources and imposes slavery to people below their rank.

Its all the same thing sister, in the old days they had what was called trade by barter system, it was exchanging commodities for commodities and then they were not happy with the system and looked for ways to do business smoothly and more convienent and hence the paper money came about. So you see, its one of the best things that has happened to humanity in evolution history.

Finanacial transactions will be that too delayed, progress will be hampered also. On a positive note, people will be less greedy as what you just stated. People will appreciate the value of exchanging goods. I think, there are positive and not so positive effects of having no money around. Thanks

Money is definitely the root of all evil, but if it didn't exist I would be forced to utilize a trade or talent - which I do not possess!
...Not that I have money either lol
