Many will just use it for rent. $ 1400 is nothing if you live in a metro area. It is literally one month's rent.

Having a place to live is literally life-altering.

Paying the rent, electric bill, internet, and water bill so you don't get kicked out or lose your utilities is life altering.
Now if they want to use it for Gucci, alcohol, TVs, and iPhones, they can do that too, and it won't be "life altering."
But it's their choice

Ha. 10% maybe. Like I said, if people were struggling, Bass Pro wouldn't be sold out. They aren't.
