Monetary Affordance In And Of Itself

 The only things that can't be bought with money are things which can't be acquired by any means. You can't buy antigravity, and you can't get it in any other way either. 

 Can you buy love? You can buy time, and spending time you can buy wisdom about love. Yes, you can buy love.

 Can you buy trust? Absolutely. You can spend time learning about trust, then execute on that knowledge. You can buy someone else's time with money too, and spend their time on things that will make them trust you. Buy true friends in job lots if you have the cash.

 Can you buy quality? You can, and indeed must, buy the things which lead to quality. Not only is there no such thing that can't be bought, failing to spend in pursuit of quality will fail strategically. 

 Can you buy health? What kind of stupid question is this? Buy the right to sleep in every morning. Just try it. 

 Can you buy honour? You can buy training, from which you get discipline. You can buy a Stoic tutor and meditate on your faults until you don't have them anymore, buying the time to do so. Yes, you can buy honour.

 Can you buy karma? Assuming karma can be changed at all, then, yes, obviously, how else are you going to get it?

 Can you buy a god? Absolutely. The divine is for sale.

 If you had, could have, enough money, you could buy the laws of physics. 

 

 When someone says a thing can't be bought, they are a politician. They are lying to you, trying to harm your interests.
