Already retired. The extra money would allow me to both save more and spend more.
That's why the UBI could work - our economy depends on people buying stuff, and many people who get it would pump it right back into their local communities.
Why would I keep working if the majority of elected representatives has decided it's good for everybody else to pay me whether I work or not?
I'm happy to make hay while the sun shines. That is, keep collecting the free money until the American people decide that it was a quintessentially horrible decision, fire all the congressmen who voted for it, and elect new ones who immediately repeal it. Then I'll go back to work.
But I certainly could use the time off as long as it lasts. Who am I to argue with the majority?
