How much II pays out is attached to starting wealth, not expected pay, and starting cash scales faster with TL than expected income (which is reasonable). The result is that if II's core function is, in fact, to let PCs not work it fails at low TLs (and allows them easy wealth accumulation at high TLs).

I suspect that fixing cost of living vs income scaling over TLs would allow this aspect of II to be cleaned up fairly easily.
