Isn't work part of the "living experience"?
That's the thing money is great...IF you have it...IF it's actually a good representation of your effort and work. That is not always the case.
Making money!
No, money isn't anything, its like Ayn Rand said:
"So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Anconia. "Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?"

There are all kinds of work, the writer, the artist at their canvas...perhaps you just have a problem with the industrial revolution and consequent long hours of drudgery.
It is said in so-called primitive hunter-gatherer societies they only spent a fraction of the time we spend now in work gathering food. Making a living might only require an hour or two a day.
Do you have a job?
Unfortunately, yes. But, what am I - a robot trained to think like my superiors? I can have a job and still not like it. In fact, I think most people don't like their jobs. Why kid yourself into thinking work is so important - just because you're stuck doing it. That's self-inflicted brainwashing.
Not everyone hates their job.....just because you may think your job is shit and that money sucks doesnt mean everyone else does, thats called projecting.
And I'll bet your full of it too.
