The expense and level of effort of being single versus married are chosen
by what is comfortable to the individual.  There seems to be a myth that
once you get married, you can "settle down" (ie cease to try because you
don't have to compete).  I know as many people who are married (even without
the biggest money sink possible - children) that live off their credit
card from month to month as single people.  Saying it's more expensive or
tiring to be single ignores the tradeoffs you make in marriage.  There's
no such thing as a free lunch.
