Money can buy you medicines but cannot buy you health.
Money can bring you many acquaintances but cannot buy you true friendship.
Money can buy you food but not appetite.
Money can give you servants but not faithfulness.
Money can give you a peaceful, calm environment but not inner peace.
Money can make you look good but it can not stop old age from coming.
Money cannot tell the future.
Money cannot also bring back the dead.
Money cannot turn back the hands of time.
Money cannot buy true Love
But still, we spend the most part of our life looking for money and more money.
Can man truly get that he needs to be satisfied ?

Money is needed to survive. You can't eat without money to buy food unless you own a farm. But owning a farm would still cost money and lots of land, which would be hard to equally distribute between a large number of people. And other than food, there's payment for education, materials to build a house (trust me, lumber is hard to acquire without trading) and other necessities that needs to be paid.
But in order to get satisfied, you need more than just money. They are sometimes things that can be bought with money while others could be found using your own brain. However, the need to fill your thirst and hunger will always be more important than fulfill your need for love and esteem.

I have to say I agree more with @minders1 than @JohnRoberts.

I don't know. I really just need money to survive. And for my family to survive. We all keep saying money is the root of all evil. I disagree. It only becomes wrong if for everything that you do, love for money drives you, and you only think of yourself and accumulating wealth without helping other people.

So people need to get over money because the best things in life money cannot buy. My opinion anyway. Great post.

Money can buy the finest healthcare that can prolong life. A peaceful calm environment can bring inner peace. Money can make old age more comfortable. Money can make what time you have left more fulfilling and pleasurable. Money can help you face the future with a lesser sense of helplessness. Faithful servants are not important, this isn't the 1800s. Money can provide confidence to find true love. There's always appetite and nothing is more important than having money to provide food for the table.

@minders1 Never said money was the only thing. But it is a great means of gaining happiness and relieving stress and issues that lead to contentment.
