Money is good, but how about only 750 of them US Dollars? I have been going through the exercise of "what if I became homeless?" and where/under what conditions would I live, where, what support I could be getting, etc.

$750 or even €500 would give me an 'amazing life' in certain places in Europe. One could even buy a crappy/rotting minivan and convert it to a 'small home', as long as it is in a warm country (can't make it on the seldom -20 C of the Nordics).

The problems will begin when someone is around 70 yo and even if by that age he/she would be healthy, at 70 health challenges will definitely come up.



Is there not socialized healthcare in Europe? This would just be replacing cash disbursements in lieu of a total monthly or yearly UBI payment.
