The unofficial motto of polyamory is “Monogamy? In THIS economy?!?”.
I’ve shared a home once with a partner and her girlfriend, but it didn’t go well; my partner was a deadbeat and not only never found a job the entire 10 months I lived with her, she never even tried to find one as far as I can tell. She didn’t even get child support from her kids’ dad. Her girlfriend and I each worked full-time to support her and her kids with a roof, utilities, food, fucking doctor’s visits…I had to pressure this woman into applying for food stamps ffs. I finally had had enough and told her to go move back in with her mother because I wasnt going to be paying for her any more. And then she and her girlfriend moved out together and got a place. Good riddance, and holy fuck was her girlfriend an enabler.
I’m not against sharing a home with partners and metamours again in the future, mind you. I just intend to get to know everyone a lot better than I did in that circumstance.
I’m sure everyone working multiple jobs is not in this situation but I know people who don’t need to work multiple jobs but do anyway. Hell, I’ve considered doing it myself and I make more than enough to support my family on one income. I’m working from home and the nature of my job has me sitting around waiting to answer questions fairly regularly. It would be pretty easy to land another remote gig and stack incomes with the goal of paying off my mortgage early. I haven’t seriously pursued it yet but I might. You never know what the future holds. Having a paid off house changes your income needs in a major way.

Can we just bring polygamy back then so there can be 3 incomes in a household?

We already do that with roommates
Can’t afford 3 meals a day? Call it intermittent fasting. Can’t live off what you earn? Poly employment. What other awful reality can we rebrand?
Don’t forget quiet quitting, aka “doing exactly what you’re paid to do and no more.”
Hustle Nap: The three hours of sleep you get every day in-between your poly-employment.
Note: Not to be confused with Hustle Coma, which is when you sleep through your entire one day off every other Wednesday.
Hey, everyone deserves a recharge day… every other week and no more than that.
