Lots of people do that. Or more commonly they pick up extra shifts/OT at their main job. People will still work if they have their essentials covered to buy a new car/go on vacation/ etc.

Ah, I wasn't aware that's a thing in the US. It's virtually unheard of for employees in Germany, where a very strong social safety net exists.
