So CNN did some research on the amount of money people spend when they are in a relationship versus when they are single and it turns out you might be spending more if you are in fact single.
Here's my take on their 5 reasons aka 5 reasons why I'm single.
1) You'll likely pay more for the basics - If I don't have to share, I'm ok with spending more.
2) You Don't have a financial backstop (back up plan) - Isn't that was a saving account is for?
3) You may be charged extra on a group trip - I don't like going anywhere so I think I'll be good.
4) Your Social Security Benefits are less valuable - They've been taking this out of my paychecks my entire adult life and I still haven't seen a dime of it.
5) You're more likely to run short of money for retirement - Who needs a retirement nest egg when I'm gonna win the lottery any week now?
