Money

by Sadie Rain Hope-Gund

People in the streets. Asking you for money. How did they turn up like this? You wonder. There are 100,000,000 possibilities. One thing they all have in common: money. That is why my essay is about money and how I don’t think it should be so valuable.

People shouldn’t be so greedy. If people with more money than others, like the president, mayor and more, weren’t so greedy, money wouldn’t be such a big value. If clothes and rent and furniture didn’t cost so much, I think that would help the value of money. So they can afford household stuff like toilet paper and cups and plates and silverware. It would be so good if people weren’t so greedy because people shouldn’t have to cheat to live.

I don’t think money should exist. It has caused so many problems in the world. Wars, pollution, global warming, etc. A world without money might be much better. Like no more stealing, no more mugging, no more ransom, etc. People should really think about how better the world would be without so much money. People should trade like they used to. What’s wrong with that? Like, in the middle ages, kings and princes had high taxes (for their time) and have people give them animals and such. The war going on right now is because of money. People in gas companies just needed some more money for their collection, instead of just closing down.

There shouldn’t be such a thing as poverty. I think that people should get the money they need when they need it. So parents can afford for their kids to go to school and college. So they can afford the rent and the electricity bill. So they can go to a doctor and dentist. That is why I think there should be no such thing as poverty.

I think people should pay more attention to this. Like donating to shelters or cooking for shelters. One thing from my advice is to… never give money to people on the streets. They probably buy beer or drugs. Always give money to shelters. That is why I think it would be a better world without money.
