As I mentioned in an earlier post, money is a social construct whose meaning and significance has no fixed definition. And that's not intended to be difficult.

What it means to me personally is primarily freedom, but even that depends in great part on the meanings that others ascribe to money. So like a dictionary definition it's a medium of exchange, but what meanings are actually being exchanged depends upon the participants. In a way it really doesn't matter what perceptions are being exchanged, which is really what makes money, in what ever form it takes, fungible.

You can easily look up a dictionary definition if you're disinterested in my value system.
