Did I just realize that all money in our current form is credit and I never actually own anything? And whom ever controls the biggest source of credit controls the value of the "money" in my pocket at anytime? The only truly valuable thing is experience.

You own whatever you exchange your money for, in the simplest terms. Even if it's a bitcoin or a "financial security" or a share or a chunk of gold, or indeed a pork-belly, an iPad etc. etc.
