What if you work for room and board while going to school? Well then, you bypass the whole money situation entirely don't you? You're getting food... you're getting shelther, you're even doing some work but there's no money in the equation. There's a "value" but no money.
Therefore you're getting something, you're doing something and there's no money... conclusion? It's not EVERYTHING.

That is completely wrong. First thing people do to anything (even bartering) is attach a monetary value.
What is more likely is the person saying this room and board would go for X amount of dollars so why dont you work for me for X amount of hours and we'll call it even...
I know if i were to barter content for design work (for example) i would try to get a design of equal value to the content i was licensing the person..
MONEY IS EVERYTHING
It's just that some people tend to put other priorities ahead of it and not let it consume them, like fathers who turn down job promotions because it wouldnt leave them with enough time for family.
