Movie into a new house with my GF

Pay medical bills, get out of debt. After that write a book.

I would write, create cool apps, build amazing structures out of wood. More or less what I do now.

Because we live comfortably, I would donate it to an organization that provides supervised consumption sites. I feel like a lot of people would be more charitable.

I don’t need/can’t use UBI so it should be returned as taxes. But I would enjoy seeing less begging for help and less small economic crime (wouldn’t cure big fiscal crimes) by my neighbors and across the US.

I wouldn’t have to worry about how I would survive after I am not working any longer …

Buy soup.

Thank you for sharing! We believe it will help people by freeing them to find their joy. Society will be far better off if we weren’t working for drudgery and miserable. It means income base like an income floor so nobody falls below a certain line

also be able to learn more. do another degree or a masters. learn a language from a teacher. take up carpentry or architecture. learn manufacturing design. so many skills that are gated off from those that are "too old" to be useful

Never gave to go through another PIP/ADP reassessment for my genetic condition again ever. The effect on my mental health would be incredible.

Practice my bass, write songs, exercise, read, volunteer, teach free music classes, and worry a hell of lot less.

I am a full time unpaid caregiver for my disabled daughter who needs lifelong care. UBI would help support in her ongoing care needs now and when her Dad and I are no longer around.

I'd be able to care more for elderly relatives. I'd probably do some volunteering too for a little while each week. And/or go into education and learn more skills or things of interest in general.

I'd tell you what I'd do with it, man. Two chicks at the same time.

Give it to charity. UBI should be taxable, but with a full charitable write-off.

I would do the same every day, but with more peace of mind.

I'd use it to offset the huge increases in the basics of living, like rent, council tax, water, gas and electricity. It'll fill the gap left by years of pay stagnation.

Absolutely. Sit #UBI alongside: #UniversalHealthCare #UniversalEducation - including #LifeLongLearning and make Gvt's core mission to ensure a decent basic quality of life and the world would be amazing.

I could breathe. Stress of being an older woman alone and trying to shoulder the burdens of a world that was built on two incomes has been absolutely horrific

I'd just work a lot less. Do what I do now. Write take walks, etc. Just worry less.

Use it sparingly so those that need it most can heal. I'm at healthy as I've ever been

I would keep writing

Divorce my drug abusing husband, get loan for mobile home, save for cheap car & live happily ever after.

I would finally move to the countryside and start an agricultural project based in regenerative agriculture, a project that I keep postponing due to the fear of losing my financial sustainability.

I would quit my job & do more research, visiting science fiction archives. I'd publish more. I'd sleep better & exercise every day. I'd grow more in my garden. I'd take swimming lessons & brush up on my German at language classes. I'd take driving lessons. I'd fix up my house. I'd crochet & knit.

I have a basic income #pension so i am free to grow food, friends and family....

Absolutely. We are so gaslit by the daft notion that the ‘just work harder’ and ‘benefits are for losers’ mantras that we feel guilty when we are offered a share in the wealth that the country has built through the combined efforts of all its citizens. Demanded UBI. Demand your share.

Pay my bills and maybe finally start to have enough in my bank for emergencies. Eventually move away from the Southern parts of the US. I've never been financially stable in my life, so I'm not sure what else I'd do.

Pay off my groceries.

I'm well-off, after a lifetime of struggling to stay above water. I've started a 'waifs and strays' container house project on some spare land, so I'd use the UBI to make the houses nicer.

I'd not see it doing the job I do; the tax system should take it all back in tax and I'm fine with that. When I get to stopping work age it would be brilliant because i can transition and train my replacement without stress of earning loss

There isn't even a universally agreed-upon amount for UBI. The common features are that it's universal, unconditional, individual, and paid regularly in cash. Many U.S. proposals use an amount around the federal poverty guideline for one adult—about $1,330/month
