youre just talking about being single, not about living with someone

live in a van mate

you can live with someone and be single

like

what

roommates, dude

its a pretty common thing

Right, how many roommates have you had that pay their rent on time?

You share everything in a relationship, including a bed.

I'm never getting married lol

So, maybe if you're sleeping in your roommate's bed.

nah, getting married is alright

Cost of living is lowered in a relationship. No two ways about it.

Don't make me break it down mathematically

if you decide to move in together

it usually takes awhile before two people live together

We're talking about single versus married

Because tax breaks, remember?

then theres still more factors to it

tax breakes

That's where this all stemmed from.

if two people are married, not necessarily both have jobs

and a kid could even possibly be in the question

We're talking possibilities. Best case scenario

and you'd have a larger house while married than you would if you were living on your own

Two people CAN be working. And if they are, they will have a lower per capital cost of living than one single person.

its a stupid thing to compare, but in general, being single can be easier to save money though

Capita*

so hows being 35 like?

if youre in a relationship, add in date nights and all those things that you wouldnt normally spend money on if youre single

that shit adds up

to a lot

It's comparable, because we're discussing why tax breaks for married couples is bullshit.

tax breaks are rarely ever a reason people get married, wtf

thats stupid to argue

its still a marriage benefit, but its not a reason to get married

Single people date, too. In fact, they are more likely to spend money to impress their partner than someone who is married.

its not bs

this a dumb argument

What are you guys even talking about?

stupid shit
