I see the problem now. You don't attach money to anything, it's just money.

Money is nothing more then the conversion of my time into something tradable. If I desire more things in my life, I must either expend more effort, or increase the value of my efforts to society. (work harder/longer, or learn a more complex skill). this is niave, people dont allways have the option to work harder or longer or to learn a new skill.

If I expend the energy to do those things, I am rewarded with more tradable value, and thus can improved my quality of life. again, its not that simple, a CEO may work more hours than say a nurse, but surely the nurses job is more important, under a soley capitalist system, the quality of life for the working classes (who are essential to the economy) is poor, how do you justify that?

The old saying “Money is time, and time is money” is 100% true. If we had no money, we would have no way of improving our standard of living through work. again its not that simple, working longer hours dosent neccesarily mean you have done more actual work
