My scooter currently has a bad battery, and since I have the kick start option working at the moment, I'm thinking of taking my time about purchasing a new battery. Are there any consequences to starting with the kickstart and driving with a bad/dead battery if for only a month? Just not sure if I should rush out and get a battery or wait for a bit and take care of other bills first.

The kickstart is meant for and designed as a backup option to get you going if your battery dies. It will be fine as long as you don't kick it too hard and break it, lol. Make sure your key ignition wires are tight and hard to reach, maybe even tie them with zipties to other wires for support so no one can pull it out and kickstart it, and always lock your steering column.
I would personally get a new battery asap, and remove the kickstart lever and keep it in a backpack you never leave with the scoot.
