First, wealth and money are not the same. If you live in a mansion, but your bank account is zero, you can be wealthy and money-poor at the same time.

Money isn't some fixed object, like the amount of bills in circulation. It's the gross valuation of all sales, whether you trade a dollar bill or swipe a debit card or take out a small loan with a credit card tap.

And money can disappear, if something valued at $10 only sells for $9.
