Should be a cushion to help with savings/time between jobs, not a ticket to early retirement

To explain some more what I mean above that this is exactly what UBI is.

The point of UBI is to cover BASIC needs to not die.
Will you be able to buy a car with UBI? No.
Will you get a fancy place to live? No.
Can you eat at a fancy steakhouse with UBI alot? No.

Will it help you pay for rent and food? Yes.
Will it help you cover medical costs? Yes.

So, most people will infact still work jobs, even flipping burgers at McDonalds. Infact, more people might fill low wage jobs since they can afford to live while being at them.
More people can go to college since they won't have to kill themselves as much working multiple jobs to pay for it (unless greedy universities raise prices more).

Why? Because most people don't want just the lowest standard economy apartment as their standard of living.

Will there be male neets who are ok with that and just playing video games all day? Probably, but also most likely not anymore then than there is now.
