Since money can be exchanged for goods and services, having more money directly translates into having more options to pursue your interests. If I had a bit more money, I could get an even better device, or if I was a billionaire I could pursue interests like making rockets, or any other fancy.

So, my stance is that money directly translates into increased opportunity in a capitalist society. Meanwhile, the relationship between capital owners and works is asymmetric where the capital owner keeps majority of the profit from the value that the workers create.
