WSJ Your Money Briefing · How Printing Fake Money Helped People Manage Their Cash · 12 Dec 2023 podcast

One guy I spoke with said that there are times where he'll take cash out of his pocket, and before he hands it over, he'll just give it a second look to make sure it's not the fake thing. matched

It's really interesting to think about what physical paper money actually means to people these days. matched

It obviously still has a lot of symbolic power just as a visual icon. matched

Most U.S. matched

dollars aren't in physical form. matched

And as far as what we actually come into contact with on a daily basis, we don't actually touch much of the money that we spend. matched

If you look at what employers are planning for next year, on average, they're expecting to increase workers pay for non-union employees by about 4%. voice-verified

That's according to a survey from the consulting firm Mercer. voice-verified

Nobody's going to turn down that amount of money, but... voice-verified

It's also interesting to compare that percentage to a number that came from a recent survey from the financial services company Empower. voice-verified

According to their survey, people said that they would need a 50% raise in order to feel happy and less stressed. voice-verified

Yeah, it's quite a bit. voice-verified

It's probably not something that's going to come anytime soon, but that's the number that, on average, people would point to. voice-verified

So if you look at all of the respondents to the survey overall, their median salary was $65,000 a year. voice-verified

And the median response for how much money they said they'd need to make in order to be happy was $95,000 a year. voice-verified

And it's interesting, the survey also breaks down the responses by income bracket. voice-verified

And at each bracket, people are always saying a bit more than what they currently have. voice-verified
