Why Do We Use ‘Money’ in Everyday Life?

Money is like a magic ticket that lets you trade things easily. Imagine if you wanted an apple, but all you had was a toy car, it would be hard to find someone who wants a toy car and has an apple! Money solves this problem by letting people agree on how much something is worth. Money works like a bridge between what you have and what you want.

If there were no money, we’d all need to barter, which means trading one thing for another directly. But with money, everything becomes easier.
