Why is your monely worth so much less today than it was 100 years ago?

Because money's value is based on its scarcity but government has the power to print (that is create) new money. And they have used that power to print new money for themselves. When it gets into circulation it inevitably drives up the price of everything. If money was linked to gold or silver then it would be impossible to arbitrarily create new money and its value would tend to be steady or actually increase over time.
