The higher earner should pay proportionally more
This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.
- Pay, and you hold it.
- Anyone can dethrone you for more.
- Every claim stays on the record.
No claims on the record.
The other side
An even split fixes each person's obligation to the household and leaves the rest untouched. Income stops being a lever. Under proportional accounting, salaries must be disclosed and compared every time one changes, and the higher earner acquires a standing argument about where the money goes. Equal shares keep that argument closed. A raise should not arrive as a bill.
