Money - What does it mean to me?

Money is nothing but a means of distribution of wealth, by definition. But to me, money means I can go get an ice cream shake at Coldstone whenever I have some of it.

Money's obviously important to me, let alone people. You've kind of gotta pay for stuff with it, because as of yesterday, you can't buy cokes in "tales of adventure" anymore. Acorns got banned along with that.

It's hard for a definitive resonse to "How much is enough" without any given context or constraint on such a question. I'll try and add an end to it: "How much is enough for someone to be happy?"
More reasonable, I think. Well, myself, in order to make someone happy, there isn't a limit to how much money is "enough" due to the fact that every single person is different in what would make them happy, and what ends they would have to meet in order to fulfill those wants. So, whenever you have enough money to where you can give to the community, confortably support your family, be able to have the fun you want to, and be able to support yourself after your young days are over, that's enough money for someone.

I forgot the second to last question, but money definitely is a method of making part of the world go 'round. Although it doesn't make ALL facets of society function the way they're supposed to, it does provide a distribution of wealth for the population of the world, and allows simple economics to function, giving us all the basic resources we need. It doesn't, however, make a family love each other, for example.
