I'd be able to get my anxiety -- which is one of the causes of me being on disability -- under control. Then I would be able to actually plan for the future.

I'd also be able to donate more. To Patreons, to local charities.

And maybe I'd be able to get a small business off the ground.

I’d do my weird little installation thing art full time and get acupuncture. Probably take some art classes that don’t fit into my practice or doctoral work.

Two college-bound kids here, I'd pay for college without (or with less) debt.

[mortality, Death]

I'd be happy to either go back to college or get a full-time job so I could work towards a more stable future

also, I've lost family members, I wanna help with their funeral expenses too...

I would sleep better. I would be able to save money. I would give more to charity and subscribe to more magazines, buy more books. I could afford to say no to some paying work so I could spend more time on my writing.

I don't know what I'd do with UBI, but I'd love to be able to find out.

My current career path pays well but makes me sad. I'd like to branch into other things but they don't pay as well. Having a little more cushion would give me more confidence to explore.

I kinda hate my face. We were poor when I was little so I never got braces. It’s why I don’t smile with my mouth open. I’d fix those first.

My patient work will immediately get better. So many of the people I serve struggle because they don't have stable income or housing. I wouldn't stop working, but my work would be easier.

Probably keep my job for a bit but retire earlier and work part time supporting education or reading or books in some way. See a lot more plays and concerts, maybe run for office locally.

Pretty much same as now? I’d probably eat out a teeny tiny bit more and maybe go to more professional conferences

I would be free to create art that I want to create. Part of why I don't create more is because of all the exhaustion I have after a shift at work. I come home and I'm too tired to focus on creating. I would also be free from focusing on what others want me to create because they're not paying me.

Biggest peace of mind I’ve ever known.
Watching my parents growing up not able to afford bills due to medicine.

Also, not having to worry about my insurance tied to my job is a BIG one

Support worthy others or causes with all of it. Jackal is fortunate.

I know what it's like to go a decade without healthcare. To live on minimal budget.

I'd be focused less on doing labor I don't care about and more on volunteering and seeking higher education

Like, yeah, for the first few months I'd probably just relax and enjoy myself for once, no longer stressing about only working part time. But then I'd be volunteering and learning 100%

Honestly, freaking live life.

America has WAYYYyyy too many folks walking a tightrope to prevent financial ruin.

The mental health gains alone would be worthwhile.
