Net gain for the 10K half of the partnership:  $500.00.  

Can you spell "Trickle Down?"

The humiliation associated with making $10K is to be exacerbated
by demanding that the person take a cut in pay to $9K.

The recompense is that the person may get $1500 from the person
he or she sleeps with, a net gain of $500.00 in a year for 
sleeping with someone...pretty low wages for *that* profession!
