For instance, money can help us have a more comfortable lifestyle, but if we do not have the inventors, the producers, servers, and etc., the money we make would be pointless.

Is there a period after etc?

Yes, you're right to have a period and then a comma after etc.

thank you.

You're very welcome.

Yes, there should be a period after "etc." in a sentence. The abbreviation "etc." stands for "et cetera," which is Latin for "and so on" or "and other things." It is typically used to indicate that there are more items or examples that could be included in a list, but they are not explicitly stated. In English writing, it is common to place a period (full stop) after "etc." to indicate the end of the abbreviation. So, to answer your question, there should indeed be a period after "etc."
