It won't make you happy but thanks to banking cartels you are force to keep obtaining it to survive. Money doesn't come to mine when people think of addiction but it's the one thing we as a global society are addicted to more than any amount of caffeine, any technology, any food, drink, drug, or chemical.
The existence of money isn't the problem. Unless you want to grow your own food, make your own clothes, and do your own surgery, sooner or later you're going to want something from someone else that you need to trade for, and money is a better way of dealing with that than having to hunt down someone who has what you want and will take some of your chickens or whatever in exchange.
