    That’s like almost 2 mortgage payments. If you were on the verge of eviction it might be life changing I guess.

    $1000 is also just enough to buy a probably very shitty used car. That could change someone’s life if it helped them get a job.

    That could also buy groceries for several months if you were waiting for a new job to start

    Probably none of this would apply to Anon of course, since he has never had a job and lives in the basement at his elderly mothers house…
