Money is a piece of token that represents favor or debt the world owns to you, or at least, anyone who takes money as payment.

This whole premise is enforced by central governments in modern times.

When we buy or sell goods, give away our time and labor for a salary, we're simply exchanging favors.

That's all money is, a system for keeping track of "favors" owed to any individual.
