Lol at the idea that working harder will get you paid more. Also if you aee sharing most things housing. Non disposable household items, car. Your only major cost would be food and most of the time you throw out from spoiled waste than eat. So having an extra mouth would be minimal.
More like you can work two jobs. But take less hours.
I’d say the percentage of income spent on food probably depends heavily on your income though. Plus for housing you’d probably need an extra room (unless you want to bunk with your clone), but that probably wouldn’t add up to twice as much rent.
There would definitely be a lot of stuff that would need to be doubled, e.g. I would definitely get into trouble with laundry if I tried to clothe two people with my one person wardrobe, and if my clone is an independent being they’ll still want a PC and phone (it would be really complicated to set up some kind of timeshare system, especially if they’re working a separate job - you could have one clone work in the morning and one in the evening, but not everyone is cut out for working late). Bunking would probably work, but that’s going to get real weird if you’re living in a flatshare or with a partner. And oh, sharing a partner would be a huge problem if we’re assuming the clone is an independent being, even if they’re actually a good sport about it in general.
Yeah see this is why you don’t really want a clone, you want a half-lobotomized body copy that can complete tasks for you and understand reasonably complex instructions but doesn’t have that pesky free will. Then you can just make them sleep in the closet or something.

I mean you could work 3/4 as hard for 1.5x the money. But presumably you’d have to spend more to support two people, too.
Depends where you live, here the living costs are almost entirely housing which don’t change as you add more people.

True but that kind of defeats the purpose of them being a clone.
