Every year when the Earned Income Tax is handed out the sale of TVs and other non essential items are purchased at an alarming rate. I know people that get it and they always blow it on stupid shit. Shortly afterwards they are broke and can't buy essentials.
What they should do is save most of it to help them get through the rest of the year.
Being poor doesn't necessarily mean someone is stupid but most of them are. That might sound mean to you but is true nonetheless.
Many if not most people who are poor end up middle class. Income mobility is very fluid in this country.
Why is that you think if a poor person's income comes from Walmart they won't blow it....but if it comes in the form of a negative income tax from the government (supported by taxes Walmart pays) they will blow it?
