Money is more flexible than barter. Let us say that you are a farmer, and you have produced a large amount of beans. You want a new piece of furniture. You could find a carpenter and offer him bushels of beans, but he might not even like beans, or even if he does like beans, he probably does not want a quantity of beans that would be equal in value to the piece of furniture that you want. Alternatively, the farmer can sell his beans for money, and he can then buy the furniture for money, and those questions (does the carpenter like beans, and if so, what quantity of beans does he want) will not arise. Everybody accepts money, it is universally useful.

What is money used for in everyday life?

Money is a way to facilitate trade. Back before money, maybe you raised pigs and somebody else raised chickens. If you wanted some chicken, then you had to try to trade a pig for some chickens.

Now you can work and earn money, then you can spend that money for whatever you need.
