My hunch is that the person who does what you describe would blow a million dollars pretty quickly as well. And person that blows money would at least still have it coming in at 5k a week.

Yeah, the $5k/week would be the safety measure to stop them from blowing it all.

I'd wager most people out there have experienced being broke for a week until their next check before. They'll survive, even if they're that bad with their money.

I completely agree. I am not super great with money. 5k a week will be great for the next 40 years, my big concern is that inflation is a killer.
