There’s plenty of things that are valuable for society while still not having significant financial value.

[nickd2001]

Indeed! e:g - looking after elderly and/or disabled people, to give their family carers respite. Which is a minimum wage job seen by many as "drain on the taxpayer", ignoring that apart from being worth providing for its own sake, it can enable the family carers to be also economic contributors and pay tax themselves.

Money is generally how we describe value.

Almost all religions, a good chunk of philosophy and even a good bit of economics would differ with you.

I hope you find out before it's too late.

Love, honesty, kindness, ..., none of these have value?

[komali2]

Not quite. Money is how we describe instrumental value, and occasionally allocation priority. Personal attachment and moral worth are also terms often used interchangeably with "value," though in my opinion that should stop and we should all simply never use the word "value" again because so many meanings have collapsed into it.

Money describes a price, not a value. Two different concepts.

[dgb23]

Money describes prices, not value.

The most expensive vacations I took were not the most valuable ones to me

What I would suggest you do is, find a loving partner to start a family with, then do everything you can for 20 years to focus primarily on earning, or otherwise acquiring, money.

Then get divorced and discover your children don’t know who you are, and neither do you. And your wife took the dog too.

It’s an almost guaranteed way to eradicate this wildly stupid idea you have.

One of the really cool things about capitalism is that you can, directly or indirectly, put financial value on pretty much anything.

One of the uncool things about capitalism is that it, directly or indirectly, monetizes everything.
