It's useful to see money for what it is, a tool for forcing others to do things they don't necessarily want to do. Then you can translate need for money -> need for other peoples' services. You can also relieve your need for money if needs are met in other ways.

imo this is only half correct. money is less coercion and more of a promise. the rich for e.g. don't stockpile money since promises degrade. they rapidly convert it into ownership over activity. the illusion that they own literal $$$ is bc of how their net worth is reported.

Replying to @jack_meditates
i did. you say that money is a tokenization of force. my counterpoint is that while true, people act as followers in a hierarchy of value not because they are coerced but because they are promised a better future. it is a token of power and power is the opposite of force
