Ordinary people are not self sufficient. They need to trade things in order to meet their needs and the medium used for trading is money.
In most cases, people trade their labour and, in return, they get paid money. That money is then traded with other people to buy goods and services from them. The advantage of using money as the medium instead of a barter system is the you can trade with someone even if you cannot provide something that the other person needs (or wants).
Suppose I was a car mechanic, and I wanted to buy a dress. The tailor who made the dress had a son who was a mechanic and so he had no need for my skills. Barter would not get me very far, but the money that I could offer would allow the tailor to spend it whereever he wanted to.
