Keeping a remote tech job is a thrilling prospect for income-sharing communities, because it can easily cover 20% or more of the whole community’s budget.

But you can’t join an income-sharing community and “contribute 30% of your post tax salary”. That’s not how it works. It’s an income sharing community. Your income goes to the community, full stop.

Occasionally communities avert their eyes and don’t pay too much attention to passive income from investments, letting that income compound without requiring it be contributed to the community. But even that tends to be a source of much tension.

Income-sharing is intense. It’s a major commitment (while you’re there; you’re always free to leave).
