An interesting question is how the salaries would shift. If everyone can fulfil basic needs without much, will the jobs that no ones interested in doing be the ones on a high pay grade?

edit: just saw that you replied to "maybe money isn't needed at all" so my reply is not really relevant

I thought it was common knowledge that the quality of life for people in the upper quintiles is based on the people in the lower quintiles not having options.

Hence the hotels and fast food and other low paying fields complaint about not finding workers since the government gave them an option.

If everyone was fluent in English and could type well, then the price of rote white collar office work would go down and the price of hard labor and public facing and more undesirable work would go up. Which is what has been happening in the last decade.
