$$$ MONEY: Why do we need it???

Do you know why we use any sort of currency today (money, credit, barter, I mean any form of currency)? We have to? Why? To eat, and get the things we need for life. We use currency to keep track of all of that exchange. But, why? Why do we need to keep track of all of that exchange? Some might say, the world works that way. And because, some people would take advantage, they would be gluttonous and just vacation all the time, or they would be lazy, and wouldn't contribute.
