Money
From Wittypedia
The root of all evil - but also, the only way to pay for pizza.
Origin
Money was invented in 1887 as a way to pay chimney sweeps who, up until that point, had been cleaning chimneys for the pure love of it. It soon caught on and now everybody is payed in money except for sea captains who, due to superstition and maritime tradition, are payed in whelks.
Value
The value of money has a lot to do with the number written on it, but in a survival situation it is often found that low denomination coins are more useful (for signalling for help by reflecting the suns rays or as makeshift maracas to while away the lonely hours waiting to be rescued) and so should not be regarded of being of less value.
Happiness
If money deosn't make one happy, what about poverty?
