You're young. One thing I suggest you do is look at what money is worth, how much of it you get paid ... and contrast that with how much a cowboy got paid and what he was paid with back in the 1800s. Trust me: it's worth the time to work that out in your head.
Sooner or later we're gonna fall back to using precious metals as a currency. Precious metals never lose their value. They might get revalued and their actual values may be misrepresented/contrived, but they never lost value.
