Note(s): Estimates by nonlinear least squares. Dependent variable: satisfaction with financial situation (POLS transformation). **denote a 1% significance level, *denotes a 5% significance level (indifference scales are not marked by significance). aBaseline estimates are the same as in Table 2. bSample limited to individuals from households, which report making ends meet with some difficulty or fairly easily (two middle categories out of six). cSample limited to individuals older than 55 years. dCouple sample limited to married individuals only
