Cohousing-L Mailing List: Income sharing in cohousing

[Joani Blank (jeblank]

I think that when this was first brought up the phrase income-sharing was
meant to describe a situation where all earners who live in the community
put a significant percentage (or all) of their income into one bank account
and then the funds are distributed to households or individuals according
to needs or whatever. Alternatively it may have referred to communities
where everyone is supported by a community-operated business or businesses. 

It's so good to have some of you  share how people have shared income in a
variety of ways in your community.  Others of us can learn from the
open-heartedness behind these arrangements for mutual support.  But those
instances are not what I think was meant by the phrase "income sharing" in
Rob's original post.
