My wife and I do not make equal salaries, our chores are not proportional to the economic value that we bring to the relationship.


In addition, we've never once sat down and charted who does what to really have any idea if it's 50-50!

I do some things most of the time, she does some things most of the time and there are things we each do as need be without charting it out. Never once have we consciously decided if the system was fair and balanced. We simply slid into a system that works for us.

Why am I picturing SFP and his girl hashing this all out over an Excel sheet?

Because he's basically the lawyer version of Sheldon Cooper.

this does interest me from an efficiency standpoint b/c i fear at some point this may come up in my relationship

i don't work a traditional way and i'm trying to find areas to expand into (hence reading books on marketing and business). the entire point is finding way that are +EV for me where i can create efficiencies to free up my time

i don't think i can sustain a major operation due to my personality, so 3-4 smaller operations and a modest living are my goals. but that is going to lead to a non-traditional life way different than a 9-5 mindset. i think most people really arguing with me in this thread are kind of in that normal job routine/mindset
