Oh I see and even though am not into the bible/religion stuff it's true that we unfortunately need money to have a comfortable convenient life despite that money enslaves people. Human life is like some sort of game where whoever has the most money wins with the best perks in life. I hate living a world where money is the ruler and money is one of the main reasons why most people take life way too seriously and has far less playtime.

It's a complete misunderstanding of money as a concept. There are ways to live "off the grid" without major dependence on money, but modern life is designed around it. I dislike money as a concept, but I accept it as a requirement to live in a comfortable way today.
Even the Bible tells us that the "love of money" is the root of all evil. Not money itself, but the addiction to it; The need to chase it.
I make a decent living, and my wife and I live on a budget that allows us to have most of teh things we need, and some of the things we want, but I don't pursue it any farther than that. I never want to be that asshole who pretends he doesn't have any money when he walks by the Salvation Army bell-ringer, for example. There may only be 26 cents in my pocket, but it's going in the kettle.
