Wherever I go, I notice the same problem reverberating through people’s lives: money.
It’s a universal stressor. Most of the world is barely getting by, living just above or below the threshold of “enough.”
Money has become the central, persistent anxiety of modern life. The constant feeling of not having enough or needing more follows people everywhere. It’s the price we pay for existing in a system where survival depends not on access to resources, but on access to currency.
Money is the primary key that unlocks almost everything: safety, food, shelter, healthcare, freedom, experiences, and peace of mind. Its absence doesn’t just create inconvenience; it creates fear, hardship, and a quiet suffering that billions carry alone. We created this system and we have a responsibility to fix it.
We’ve reimagined the concept of money countless times, but what’s truly necessary is "reimagining society itself" so that basic human life doesn’t require a constant financial struggle or the need for money at all. A world where people can live decently without being crushed by the anxiety of scarcity isn’t idealistic; it’s essential. It may be the most important issue of our time.
