If money wasn't was no longer important in the world at all. would you stop doing the job your doing or stop going to collage for what you are going for? or would you stay at those jobs or keep going to collage for what you are going for because thats your passion? basiclly what i'm trying to say do like working at your jobs or studying the career fields you studying because it's your passion and you believe you are meant to do it? or do you just do it because of the money?

I would do the work I'm doing a little bit. I like it, and it's part of the health care field so people need it.

But I would only do it a little. I'd spend my time learning, teaching, thinking, and exploring. It would be grand! I'm someone who can easily entertain myself without a steady job.

I would go to a gun store.... get all the weapons and ammo I could and build a bunker to hide in while the world falls apart in self destruction.

Sorry to burst any bubbles.... but the world would fall apart without money. The people with the weapons would make the rules and control things. Thus my buying guns and hiding out until the world self destructs .


However, if the world managed to not fall apart without money.... I would do thing similar to Light Knight.

I actually just wrote an essay in my english class about this recently. I honestly think we should have stayed with bargain and trade. Money is really pointless and not needed. Why do I think that? Well simply because we use it to buy the things we want and need anyways. With bargain and trade it's the same concept. Money just puts labels on people, places them in certain areas of life, and is not needed. Now to take it way at this day and age is impossible to do but it would be a better world in my eyes if we were still just simply using bargain and trade...

that's what money is though.... goods and services and worth a certain amount of money.... the problem is that in a city of 1 million people you can't bargain and trade for everything you need because quite often the people who want what you have don't have what you want. Money facilitated the transfer of goods and services between those that want something and those that have something to provide without requiring a need for both parties at the current moment.

Do you honestly think that the barter system didn't create wealthy people?

I'd have to go with geeogree's idea haha

I think that I would keep up with university, but I wouldn't be so full of stress.
And I wouldn't go at morning lessons
But my life wouldn't change a lot.

I think that if money wasn't important, it would be very dependent upon the people to stay working and keep the world running. We wouldn't have crimes like drug dealing since that's purely for profit, and there would be no need to. If the population stepped up to the task, and didn't get greedy or jealous, then we could really get somewhere good in which we strive for the betterment of our civilization. I think that the no money, everything is free policy would take a few generations of gradual steps to implement though, since today's society is so fueled by greed and want that if it was implemented all at once, people would freak out and go and get as much as they could, and there would be rioting, looting, and then the majority of people would no longer go to work. The only people that would go to work would the people who enjoyed what they do, and that isn't too many people where I live. Everyone would be able to go and get the education for the job they wanted, and then people would work, provided they weren't slothful, lazy, gluttonous people.

It would be possible that this could be a great thing, but with today's society I don't believe it would work unless it was gradually implemented over a great deal of time with extremely careful planning.

I agree with Geeogree. If money wasn't important, then life would cease to exist. The crime level would be higher, the people would be lazy, then they would get fat, and sit around a computer that they got from a unwatched store for days unended. The people would also get spoiled and want everything, causing greed to worsen.(Sloth, stealing, greed, envy.) The children would have nothing to look up to because the only things parents teach their children is "Get a Job, and make some money. We don't want you here for the rest of our lives!" and then the children would never get a house, or out of the house, causing them not to find a mate, and they would all die lonely and of old age, causing the last of the human race to be extinct.

alexanyways : How would people get lazy? They still would have to work for there food,, utilities, and all that fun stuff. So if they are that lazy no one is going to be feeding them and they will die off way before they die of old age and loneliness.

Even if currency goes away there would still be some sort of bargaining system. The world will never be able to work with out some sort of "money" system, even bargain and trade is a money system to some extent, so this question is basically impossible, but if it was actually possible I would probably find a job that I actually like doing and do that every day.

I would quit what I'm doing right now and go to mexico were I will become a contract killer.

seeron : how will you get paid?

if there money was of no important then there would be some other form of currency because people feel like they need to get something to give something

I do my job at the library because I love reading. I don't do it for the money. If I had a different job I might quit. Not the one I have now though. I'd also keep going to school if I had a choice too. <-emote spam

I'd probably finish college, then do my dream job as a brain surgeon...

and that is if the world does not fall apart without money

geeogree : LOL! That is the funniest question that could be asked in response to seeron's answer Although, he must have some problems if he wants to become a contract killer

seeron : You are 15,

- get a high school degree

- get a college degree

because many people in the world don't have that type of opportunity... I don't know why you would want to become a contract killer

I would draw for comics or design games because those are passions which drive me to keep on living and breathing. Unfortunately Im not only financially stuck but creatively stuck as well because of all these bills I have to deal with. One lives in hope of a brighter tomorrow!

I don't really get paid for what I do now with web development but I guess I would continue doing it anyway as long as its a project I like working on

I would also enjoy going out to eat and getting free stuff.

if money wasn't important in the world, then i guess we would just make stuff ourselves, or get stuff for free.

It would be nice, then stuff would be free. Though it might end up in chaos though. Especially with everything being free, you never know what might happen.

its as simple as this: without money, the people producing the things we want and need would stop. why? because there would be no more incentive. even with the bargain system back in place, some people would not be able to get wat they need. if the guy making the medicine wanted something the patient couldnt make or get, too bad for patient. but if i were to overlook all that, then i would still be going to school for what i want to do because i didnt get into it for the money in the first place. its kinda hard to become a millionare repairing cars
