>Posessing money makes it easy to aquire things

Flat out wrong. There are three ways to acquire things:

- Trade (with money or goods of value)

- Beg

- Steal

I ordered that list in order of HARDEST to EASIEST way to acquire things.

You are a loony. If I walk into a shop with a ton of money, then I can walk out with far more stuff and with much less effort than trying to steal from the shop or beg for free stuff from it.
