You've got it ALL WRONG! Single people don't live shorter lives, married people live longer ones! So don't worry. It's just like gas stations. Just because you get a 4 cent/gallon discount for cash doesn't mean using a credit card costs any more than it did. I mean, they wouldn't raise the price 4 cents or anything just to gouge the customer, right? Riiiiiiight. "Well, that was a piece of cake, eh K-9?"
