Why not look at folks who have some variant of basic income -- retirees. Especially public sector. There's lots of data there to look at.

I have a friend who was a fireman who developed some health problems at 44 which made doing his job difficult without putting himself and others at risk. He's now retired at approximately half pay, with healthcare. He's now doing stuff that he is passionate about -- cooking BBQ for friends, family and events and gardening. (very serious gardening, like he can almost feed his family from a city lot).

There are many stories like that which are worth hearing. IMO, it would be a better population to study, as most retirees like what I'm describing aren't receiving subsidy for housing or food.
