Aww, you're so cute. Innocent, naive, perhaps a little misguided in your idealistic assumptions, but absolutely cute nonetheless.

If everyone always tried their best everyday, money wouldn't have come into existence in the first place. They need more motivation than simply seeing their work come to fruition, and that's one of the many reasons money is so important. I'd love to see a world where everyone always tried their hardest, where everyone always gave each other everything they could ever want without needing to bribe one another, but call me a realist, a pessimist, or simply crazy, but I don't believe that's possible.

Without money you're all simply working on the bartering system, whether you realize it or not, you're doing favors for one another and whenever you need an additional favor? You likely bring up all those other favors you've done for them for free up until now. Money smooths out the rough edges of all these silly favors, I owe yous, and bartering, and gives a quantitative factor that can be used much more easily.
