It would probably last a lot longer in those circumstances, but I doubt it would be a nice or manageable lifestyle. The original stimulus check ($1200) was sent in April, and I doubt many people survived 9 months on that money alone. At the very least, I don't see it being an incentive to remain unemployed. The average rent for most states is $800+/month.

In terms of paying rent and expenses of the like, I certainly agree. In my country, the average person with a mortgage and a credit card debt would need $1500+ to survive.

Without naming specifics and further to my above post, I'm living comfortably on literally half that amount.
