money is just a simplified method of barter. I do something for someone, they do something for me. The money I spend represents me doing something for the person who has provided me with a good or a service. The wealth I build is just the balance of things that I have done for other people but they have not yet done something for me.
Money is neither good nor bad, it's just a measurement. Saying money is bad is like saying scales are the cause of the worlds obesity problem.
Those people for whom money is a problem (to much and too little), would have the same problems if there was no money.
