COMMA SPLICES AND RUN-ON SENTENCES
A COMMA SPLICE is an error where two sentences (two main clauses) are joined together with only a comma:
We have enough money, we can buy a piano.
It is almost midnight, however, I'm not tired.
A RUN-ON SENTENCE is an error where two sentences (two main clauses) are joined together with no punctuation between them:
We have enough money we can buy a piano.

Money has screwed up society a lot. The times long ago were not focused
around a green piece of paper that we have labeled as money. This piece of
paper got an amount and then finally you have to have it. True, money buys you
things. Things that you want. Things that you need.
How Run-on Sentences can Undermine an Essay & How to Correct Them
A run-on sentence doesn't always necessarily sound like a bad thing to a student: "So I went on a little long. Who cares?" Well, actually, it's more than just going on for longer than one should. It's actually combining two or more sentences into one long incorrect sentence that should actually be joined in a different way or broken into more parts. A run-on sentence can be either a fused sentence or a comma splice. While basically the two have the same problem, they are slightly different.

Money has screwed up society a lot. The times long ago were not focused
around a green piece of paper that we have labeled as money. This piece of
paper got an amount and then finally you have to have it. True, money buys you
things. Things that you want. Things that you need. To me, money is just that;
a thing. A thing to which we treat like a God. A piece of paper that we carry
around and every now and then do something worth while with it. Money does three
things. It brings on greed which in turn leads to unhappiness and then not
caring for anything but cash.
