The “Compromise” prompt led me to the traditional saying “Rob Peter to Pay Paul”. Who was Peter and who was Paul? It may be related to religion of taxes paid to St. Paul’s church in London that should have gone to St. Peter’s in Rome. Or it may just be using two popular names in Western culture.

A more current example would be someone who takes money out of apartment rent to buy groceries for the family and then may lose their apartment because they could not pay the rent.
