To fallow up, money is just something me move around to get actual things.

Money is just little slips of paper or hunks of metal, that have very little worth in and of them selves, but we give them more value than just the worth of the material. that worth doesn't truly exist in any physical form, but only in our mind (as Bullet Magnet said). With this worth not truly existing, the thing that we call money or currency, is just passes between hands (or minds) endlessly.

Person A gives $X to person B for material M. Person B than uses $X to get material M, while Person A sells material M again for $X.

or

Person C sells material B for $Y, to person D; who sells material B for $Y to person E; who sells material B for $Y, to person C.

The problem is that people than expect to be able to sell there products for more than what the paid for, but that money just doesn't exist, so somebody ends up losing money, and than somebody else, in tell only one person has any money, at which point it will become worthless.

Then the problem with making more money is that the more money you make, the more accessible it is, at as such it losses its value in ratio to how much is made.

The stock market tries to market success and failure as money, which both only have worth if we give them worth, sense they're both concepts rather than real materials. But this imaginary money is directly linked to the success of a company which is in turn linked to how many materials they can get and sell; so as we use up materials there becomes less to sell, and it becomes harder to succeed. Thus, as they sell products, the chance of making money goes down, in both the stock market and in material goods.

In short, we can't all make money. We can try to circulate it so that no one loses any, but that would take every one managing their materials, goods, and services well; which is nearly impossible.

More likely than not, every one will end up losing money, (except Bill Gates).
