Studies like this do not settle that issue for me.
This study is based solely on what the participants claim they spend money on. It's a core principle of the study that the money is "no strings attached". That makes it useless as an actual study, IMO.
Without a more comprehensive study of the budgets of people before and after, the idea that the money won't be spent well is a fair argument.
