One of my friends received this. He was previously a rugby player and coach, but was feeling heavier and heavier every day. So he quit.

I think this type of income is best when 'between careers'.. when someone desires to walk a new path.

The alternative seems to be to leap into a new job, which could perpetuate misery.

But if a person has time to step away, and create stillness and clarity, then that decision can become obvious.

For him, the income was enough to live, for him to become a more conscious spender, and when he stopped receiving the money, he chose a new career in door-to-door sales which he's loving.
