Although many do not believe it, it seems that the single person spends more, for one reason only, he is not shy about buying what he wants, on the other hand, the married person thinks twice when it comes to treating himself.
In an article carried out by the magazine Aló a Cesar Giraldohe affirms that in general concepts of the economy it is evident that the single person has much more expenses: “It is a fact that single people invest in more superfluous things than married people or those who live with a partner. A bachelor buys a perfume, some shoes, a scarf because he wants to, while someone who already lives with his partner (with or without children) thinks twice ”.
For something they will say that the single man squanders it and the married man takes care of it…
Fame is not free, several figures have come out in recent years that suggest that singles do spend more. A survey conducted in Spain by the social network clan 2000 found that singles travel 40% more than the average and spend 65% more on consumer products. Statistics from the US Bureau of Labor did a study on a group of people between the ages of 21 and 29 that showed that singles spend about 800 dollars (1 million 428 thousand pesos) in food and alcohol. And now there is talk of a virtual calculator that estimates the costs of a divorce to rethink a life without a partner.
But another conclusion reached by the Bureau of Labor is that singles and married people spend about the same amount of money. That is to say, while singles spent those 800 dollars on perishable things, married people spent it on gasoline. (because they own cars)in pensions and insurance (an investment in the future).
So yes, married people have a notion of saving, but not everything ends up there, single people cannot carry such a bad reputation. Another study shown on the mental health portal Psychology Todayensures that single people also invest in their future and that in the case of women they were investing even more than married people: couples invest 23.9% of their salaries, single men 30.3% and single women 39.8%.
This proves in some way that being single or married is not the only thing that implies expenses. There are countless variables that affect the wallet: if you are orderly, if you are aware of saving, if you think about the future. “Of course, there are many couples who, after being united or married, continue in a joint splurge. In those cases, marital status has nothing to do with it.»Giraldo explained to us.
