    1. I guess the definition of decimated has changed significantly in the last seven days.

    2. We are about two inflation spikes away from this being the standard requirement for a mortgage application

    3. I’m not even looking for a soulmate anymore, I’m just looking for a third credit score for the mortgage.

      Forget romance, this is just economic survival mode. Three incomes might finally beat inflation.

    5. So I guess I love you both, because the rent is due. Who knew the ‘third wheel’ would eventually become the spare tire for our economy?

      but for real, my brother in law moved in over a year ago and it’s been awesome. we both make about the same amount so doubling a single income household has been awesome.

    7. Lolol I thought about this a few days ago. Imagine it becomes so bad this becomes a thing people do. Or friend groups coming together and setting up a group fund for necessities and rent

    8. I could geuninely see that used as justification for polyamory in a cyberpunk dystopia book

      You can also be platonic and split living expenses, finances are not a good basis for a romantic relationship.

      With two people you have either two incomes or someone available to give kids enough time and attention, but not both. With three people you could have two or even three incomes and still have enough parent availability to raise your kids right.

      Doesnt have to be polyamory but god damn does this model not work really well.

      ‘The single uncle/aunt’ and the couple. The single individual could have a great ability to provide extra stability to the couples relationship. If you reinforce lots of positives of each and mediate some domestic issues etc. Also they could babysit a newborn once in a while so that the couple doesnt get completely burned out.

      In return they get access to the house at only 33% cost and hopefully roommates you have a good relationship with.

      How does that scale any better? 🥲

      Its still income per person. What you are looking for is communal housing or flatmates.
