Deep Space Nine scene. Jake Sisko is sitting facing us at a table on DS9 station. He's having a chat over juice with Nog, a young ferengi with giant ear lobes. Nog is in Starfleet uniform and facing away from us. Jake is wearing normal guy space clothes. Jake looks animated and talking with hand gestures. Closed caption reads, "I'm human--I don't *have* any money." ('Have' is in italics)

@rasterweb Last episode of TAS that I watched had a character who had "used his vast personal fortune" to do great good. I kept yelling at the TV “fortuine? There's no money!”

@FozzTexx Star Trek's always been a little squishy on the concept of money. It doesn't exist... except when it does.

Sadly, the different Star Trek series have been wildly inconsistent on this point. The series Picard established that there was still significant wealth inequality on Earth, as Raffi pointed out when Picard found her living in a shack, and there are a lot of references to Picard's personal wealth and his financing things.
