Money is like a special kind of ticket that lets you trade things with other people. Imagine if instead of giving your friend a candy bar, you had to give them a pencil. That would be confusing! Money helps everyone agree on how much something is worth. It makes it easy for people to buy and sell without having to carry around all their stuff.
Examples
- Your mom uses cash to pay for groceries at the store.
