That's... kind of a large part of the point as far as I understand. It doesn't matter where the money gets spent (rent, necessities, luxuries, hobbies, whatever) - the important thing is to keep the economy moving. When large portions of the economy are disrupted all at once (jobs lost, businesses failed) there's the potential for a domino effect.
