No one of is going to deny that singledom is full of fun, freedom and naughty things, but there does indeed come a time (usually after yet another broken heart) when we realise that life without a partner in life there is indeed something missing. We begin to feel a little depressed.
So, if your beyond the doom and gloom phase, then please don't read any more of this post, as it'll only make you feel a hundred times worse about what I'm about to say.
OK, here's the bad news: a state of singledom will cost you more money than it does when your happy in a relationship. According to a recent study, the cost is an extra six thousand pounds a year - as if being alone wasn't depressing enough.
The study was recently carried out by VoucherCodesPro who looked at over 2000 British women aged between 18-30, and found out the average single woman in the UK tended to shell out an extra £6,000 a year more than their married friends.
It was found that the average disposable income a week for married women was around £40 a week and for the singletons a staggering £150.
So, where was all this extra money going? The biggest difference was that it cost a lot more to hit the dating scene and pay for all those treats that surround it like Amazon Prime, fancy restaurants, sex toys and lube.
The married women camp did appear to spend more on the weekly food shop than single women did.
So my fellow Steemians, in which camp would you rather spend your days?
Just found out that today (11/11) is single's day in China!! How curious...Never heard it before!
Mmmmmm ... interesting :)
A long time ago I read that married people have a longer life.
This is much more expensive. ;)
Expensive long life or cheap short life? (in a nutshell!)
Lube! Ha ha! I did laugh at that one.
I thought that only engulfed those of the age range 40-65!!
(P.S. Where have all those up-vote bots gone??)
Me too.
It made me spit out my morning coffee in laughter!
I don't think Amazon Prime would work on my date. She's a die hard book worm.
Flatter her with an Amazon voucher instead :))
Her evergreen boring Xmas present @mindhunter
I know that groaning feeling!
... only 44 days left now!
Either way they both have good and bad aspects .
I think you've gripped onto a very wise statement there ;)
Excellent post @ mindhunter / Congrats
Always a pleasure to be glanced over by @jlufer :)

$10.47 you say! V.interesting ;)
being married can end up being more expensive if you choose your mate unwisely. so, marry wisely or don't date.
When @mindhunter collides with @lifeworship = Wisdom emerges :))
my thoughts exactly.
I chuckled at that one ;)
Of course I want the Dizney Dream ending!
... I think that only exists in the frolicking soul-mate territory!
I think so too!
But my heart says, "I wantz that!"
Oh life, what ever shall I do?
Me too! But if we stay just inside the flirt territory then where is the harm in that?? ;) We gotta appreciate the male and female forms in all their beauties right? :))
Single is the natural state of humans!
Married people spending less on sex toys? Married women like to eat more? hmmm...doesn't sound that great. Sounds a bit more lonely.
... with death to the flirt and those racing heartbeats on dates :))
i think the trick is to still live single even when not! women shuld drop their men off in the amazon jungle for a month the wonder if he will come back alive. it would be exciting like they first met ...right?!?!
= Super horny lusty jungle animal thing! Prepare to be boarded!! :))))
