Why Do We Need ‘Money’ in the First Place and What Would Happen If We Didn’t Use It?

Money helps us trade things easily. Imagine you want to buy a toy, but instead of trading your candy for it, you just give some coins. That’s money! If we didn’t use money, people would have to trade things like apples for toys or books, and that can get really confusing.

If there was no money, everyone would need to find someone who wanted exactly what they had. This is called a barter system, and it’s harder because you might end up with something you don’t like.
