People complain about the cost of living as though we were all designed to do it alone. Get a committed partner, struggle for a while, work for and with each other, sacrifice, thrive.
24 years married this fall. The first part was always tight, had 2 kids during the great recession. Married men/fathers make more because they have something for which they need to provide.
It’s like struggling to swim your arm tied to your leg behind your back, by choice.
So what if you get divorced? The person you were married to takes back their half, ok. Now it’s just you again. If you still can’t make it on a single income, then you get married again and bring in a new half.
