Our world with no money..... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

G-Force Glockstar · 07-09-2005, 06:06 PM

I don't know how some people do it, pay for a house which is so expensive, pay for a car, gas, insurance, and all that stuff you need. My parents have to pay for all that, and they pay for my glasses, hearing aids, school, Sylvan, karate and everything!! I know I'll never have a lot of money like that when I'm an adult.....

Anyway, I was thinking.....wouldn't it be cool if there was NO money here on Earth? I mean everything was free and there were no costs. Not only would that be good for everyone, but think about those poor countrys that have no food or homes. They don't have food or homes because they're POOR. But if there were no money they'd be fine.

Does anyone agree with me are am I crazy?

Yeah I dont get the point of money, if everything was free and there was no money that would be a lot better

swedeace · 07-09-2005, 07:04 PM

I like your fantasy, Niki! Yes, it CAN be such a struggle to have to work so hard just to pay bills, have our own entertainment and luxury.

Would be interesting, but because we have an economy, that would not suffice.

Mijada · 07-09-2005, 07:17 PM

Well it would be nice but then no one would want to work if they weren't getting paid. We'd have no doctors, no teachers, no law enforcement, no one to fix our cars when they break down, no one to build our homes etc....

Exactly what I was going to say

TheGreatPretender · 07-09-2005, 07:56 PM

Then it would be a free for all and people would be rushing to get stuff. It would be chaotic and we would be constantly running out of products because of course any one would take the best house, car, etc.

Ah yes.......... A perfect world! (Sounds like a John Lennon song)

Anyway, without money or compensation there would be no incentive to produce or invent anything! Would you or anybody else toil for hours on something that in the end would reap no material/monetary rewards? I think not!

It's a material world and that is human nature!

vienna waits · 07-09-2005, 08:16 PM

It would not be a perfect world by far. Money is what keeps things going. Unfortunately somebody has to be on the bottom if someone else is going to be on the top. My family isn't "poor" in the traditional sense, but we don't have a lot of money. It's my goal to make a substantially greater amount than what my parents have because I don't want my kids to worry about money the way I do.

Hollow · 07-09-2005, 08:20 PM

the world would be a mere disaster without money. we'd probably end up going extinct.

Which is exactly why we have money. People won't do anything for free. Yet, if people could be that way, life would be so much easier.

robyrob · 07-09-2005, 10:04 PM

i already live in a world with no money, and I do stuff for free alla time - i mean Im as cynical as the next jerk, but does no one actually do what they do because they ENJOY it?

I'd be a doctor if they'd let me.

Brain surgeon even.

I like the idea. Humanity could work for the betterment of all. To get things done, simply for the joy of seeing things get done. No greed. All people work not for themselves, but for all humaniy... No poverty. The only wealth would be the warm feeling people get as the world unites under a banner of common need.

People could be rewarded with food. If they work, they eat. Simple as that. Humans always make things more complicated than they have to be.

I'm sure Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and Donald Trump would go for the idea.
