Imagine if you grew a money tree in your backyard, a tree with the ability to give you unlimited money for the rest of your life. You would be able to pick as much money as you needed at any time in your life.

You could go shopping whenever you wanted and buy everything you liked instead of narrowing down the options because you only have so much money to spend. Not only could you spend as much as you want on the things you want and need; you could also continue to do the same thing every day. Shopping until you drop would be literal in this sense.

You could travel the country any day you wanted, and go anywhere in the world with your unlimited money. Nothing's better than more than one vacation a year. You would be able to see the world, and that includes every little inch of it.

You would never need a job. You would never have to work a 40-hour work week to pay all your bills. You'd never have to complain about terrible bosses or slacking coworkers.

School would be an option for you, too. Would you really need a degree if you weren't ever going to work again in your life? Probably not. No debt, no 10-page essays, no 8 a.m. classes. But of course, if you did attend school, you could still pay your bills all in full because of your money tree, making school basically a thing to just occupy your time.

But of course, with all the good things that come along with your money tree, there are just as many bad reasons that the tree shouldn't exist.

You would have to lock up the tree in some type of contraption because your neighbors and random people would try to steal the tree from you. People would do anything for money, and if it was possible for it to be unlimited somehow, they would jump on the chance to have one or steal someone else's.

You might become a little money hungry. With enough money for the rest of your life, you would probably start to get a pretty cocky personality. In general, money makes you crazy, but with a money tree growing in your backyard, you may turn into someone who you never were before.

I can't imagine a money tree existing in our complex world, because it would create even more drama than already happens in our society today. I would not mind having all the money to myself, but I don't think I would make the money tree my main concern. At least, I wouldn't be in the backyard picking off all the money, but probably spending the same money I am now. It would be awesome to have a money tree, but all that's attached to it is way too much for anyone to handle.

So thank God (for now, anyway) that a money tree does not exist. The thought of a money tree is extremely nice, but money should never be anyone's top priority.
