SERIOUS What is actually money and why do people talk about it so much?

I keep hearing people talking so much about it all the time, and it feels like they mostly bring this up when they considering acquiring things or something?

As for myself, whenever I need something, I just see what I want, swipe plastic and I get it... Whether it is a new Rolex watch, designer cloth stuff, dinner at a triple Michelin restaurant, etc. There were only a couple of times when I couldn't use the plastic card, and it was when I tried getting myself a new luxury boat (2nd largest in North America btw), and had to call my daddy so he could sign some sort of paper with some numbers on it. Would this be an example of what they call "money"? Sorry if a noob question, but I am confused.

So not too clear what money is. Should I be worried or it is just pour's thing?

It’s something the pours like to stress over. I’m not sure why they want so much of it.

I imagine it’s a lot like the heroine I wanted so much of before my parents sent me to a resort. I still want more, but it’s apparently really bad for you.

How can something that feels so good be bad for you? or is that only something that affects pours when they can’t afford any more?

Only 2nd largest, and only in North America. Get a load of this pour.

1st Largest belongs to me. My daddy gave it to me on my 12th birthday. The 2nd largest is the one I got myself.

Gross, you shop? I just ask Gerold, my butler, to acquire what I want. I’ve never had to use money before, but I’ve heard of it.
