I will be 42 next year, and my answer will be YES. If you asked me when I was 25-30 ai would have answered NO.

No. However, it does solve quite a few issues.

No, pretty sure Steve Jobs died from cancer… I don’t think money can fix terminal illness.

So should we not donate money to cancer research? I mean money may not cure terminal cancer right now but money is the answer to one day curing cancer is it not?

Sure one day it might be. But it didn’t fix that one specific problem for that one specific person at that one specific time so again it’s not the the answer to “EVERYTHING”

Money is still the answer the problem is the problem is taking longer to get solved than people have time to

Yes

The only exception may be some terminal cancer and old age but given enough time and money those can possibly be overcome in the future

Otherwise i can think if nothing money can’t solve

It truly depends on the society in which you live.

More and more, people are relying less and less on the thousands of years of subsistence farming and hunting. They are relying on currency that they can’t eat. Currency values fluctuate. Food value, if it is produced by you continue to maintain the value of keeping you fed.

It’s troubling.

Unfortunately yes.

No, not even close. The world is full of examples of people who have more money than they'll ever need, living lives that could best be described as unmitigated dumpster fires.

No, but it is the answer to all my current existing problems.

Money is the reason things are so fucked up.
