The benefits of being single

Can you imagine how much freedom you will lose by getting married? Being single is better than being married. Many people would rather be single than married because single people have less responsibility, less cost, and more freedom. Being married can put you under a lot of obligations.

One positive thing about being single is having less responsibility. Single people are not required to care about anything except themselves. For example, I have a friend who was one of my closest friends, but after he got married, we did not meet as much as we used to. However, we are still friends. Another example of the benefit of being single is a party I had once. And I invited many friends and they all came to it except Ahmade because he is married. His wife wasn’t feeling well that day. Thus, he had to stay at home taking care of her. Her problems are now his problems and vice versa . Marriage comes with a lot of responsibility. You can’t just do what you want anymore because you have to think about the other person. Something as simple as going to a friend’s party becomes a joint decision.

Being single is also less expensive than being married. When you are single, you only have to pay for things that you need. For example, when you buy groceries, you only have to worry about having enough food in your house for you. However, if you are married, you must spend enough to cover everyone in the house. Another example is health insurance. If you are single, your health insurance just covers your medical expenses, but if you get married, you must also have enough health insurance to cover their medical expenses. This can be quite expensive if they have health problems. Lastly, if you are married, you must always have money to support your spouse. Sometimes when you are single, there are times when you don’t have a lot of money. This would not be a good situation if you were married because you are no longer just worrying about yourself. Being single is much cheaper than being married. Even the actual wedding is quite expensive.

Being single also allows for more freedom. If you are single, you can make the decisions to do whatever you want to do no matter the consequences. Hopefully, you’ll still make the right decisions, but at least you are making them without having to think about someone else’s opinion. Something as simple as buying a car is better when you are single than when you are married. You may want one car, but if you are married, your spouse may want another car .Therefore, you must discuss how many car to bay and come to a compromise. But if you are single, you can just buy the car that you want without having to consult with anyone else.

All of these benefits of being single are connected. If you are single and spending less money, you have the ability to have more freedom over what you do and, therefore, have less responsibility for someone else. For some people, being married might be what they want, but I believe that being single is the better option. Being able to make my own decisions, and not having to worry about someone else while being able to spend my money as I wish seems like a much better option.
