You mean feed and house more people on a single income and subject those people to this hellscape? No thanks.

Plus, is my clone really going to be fine with acting as a slave? Unlikely.

I was thinking something more along the lines of splitting the work equally, then synching memories after and then I have way more free tine (I'd unsplit for that).

Yeah, I was thinking something like "come home for lunch" and swap roles. Both work half the day, and both get half a day to do a few chores/errands each week and get some downtime to play/learn/explore/tinker. Then divide and conquer in the evening the same way; split parenting time and other-stuff time.

Edit: Also depends if we can freely recombine and split. Merge to eat (most of the time) and sleep (amidst always) to minimize costs, split to do stuff in between.

Yeag tgats what I meant with "unsplit". Just do that for work and then unite again for the free time.

I considered that but it still increases costs plus my clone will also have the same hobbies that i already can't afford.

It would definitely be nice to split tasks but I'm just not sure it's worth it.
Unless they are also working which puts us back to square one.

I thought about this and sometimes I really appreciate having someone to offload executive function to (like a personal trainer). Maybe we could take turns.

I enjoy both acting like a leader, as well as not having to think and just doing what I'm told. But I don't enjoy, or am productive, when I have to both act as my own leader and follow my instructions. Splitting in 2 and aplitting those 2 roles would probably increase my productivity and happiness 10 fold.

Yeah, I find that I get squished between increases in responsibility without corresponding increase in power to achieve those responsibilities. :/ at work, anyway.

I guess I could learn lots of things by dividing learning tasks up

The problem is I imagine sexual harassment at work would skyrocket when all the managers and ICs are my clones.
