Money won't have been everything if we are not in this era where money is highly valued, you know anything that is been valued is always caused after, that's just it. In this era ,we find ourselves, Money answereth it all, you said something like money can't buy family, but I will put it to you that money now buys family, family now stays with you because you are their source of income, mother's now love and care for the child that gives them money than the ones that is opportune, Where does our happiness source from? being able to feed, being able to get whatever would make our life easier, who would be happy not getting what he or she wants ? all this is achieved with money, so money can buy happiness.
My point is if we haven't gotten here, This era we are, it might have been different, Money might have not been everything but in this era we find ourselves, Money is now everything
