By definition, a UBI must be insufficient to finance a middle-class lifestyle. It provides an income floor.
The most important effect of UBI on the poor is that it gets rid of the welfare trap. Even the poorest paid part-time job will increase your income. At the same time you can walk away from a shit job without becoming destitute.
