Agreed. I'm guessing there should be (in the realm of possible solutions) some sort of intermediate arrangement, or a whole spectrum of intermediate arrangements. These may previously have been too complex to manage, but might now be plausible.
(Can't help but feel like there's some sort of parallel between this and conventional attitudes towards marriage! Just because marriage is a little bizzare doesn't mean that the only alternative should be bachelor life forever.)
- ErrantX 12y agoOne pain point that should be solved is this; changing jobs is expensive, or risky. If you don't time your notice period correctly you can end up having to last on a short salary. I know a few people who got into debt in this way. I recently had to think about this and for me, moving roles is worth probably about ~£2K salary in "life admin" (i.e. if the new role is not offer two grand more then it's not worth moving, from a purely financial motivation)
