40% withdrawn as cash is a ton. Did the funders inform their test subjects that they can't/shouldn't do this? Virtually all expenses listed in this article accept debit cards, so there's no reason they should be withdrawing this much cash. If the purpose of this experiment is to show that people don't just buy vices like gambling and drugs, I'd say the experiment failed or was inconclusive. I would go further to say that test subjects should report proof of all expenses for this experiment, because they could just offload the "good" stuff onto the debit card which leaves more room for "bad" stuff to be paid with your existing income, which isn't reported.
