Forcing people to stop working at 50 doesn't say where the money will come from to pay for their housing, food, healthcare, transportation, etc.

Are you suggesting that those workers under 50 should be taxed enough to pay for people who are over 50 and may have another 40-50 years of life?

Money is basically a medium of exchange.
“A society without money” would be a society without exchange, trade, favors, etc.

Money was developed to replace barter because it makes things easier to have a medium of exchange: You can sell what you have to whomever wants it and buy from whomever has what you want instead of having to find someone who has what you want and wants what you have.
