The benefits of being single

Lauy Alghalibi


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.

My father once told me, “If someone hits you hit him.” Therefore, I decided to be braver. One day when I was young, a boy made a mistake and started a fight with me. I don’t want to deceive you, so I should tell you the boy was not that strong. I remembered what my father had told me and started to hit him. I kept hitting that boy for five days continuously. Then, I realized what my father meant by that advice: I had to protect myself not behave as if I lived in a jungle. This little story might show you how “strong” I am, but it has really changed my picture of life. I am Anas Ghandorah who likes people to treat him the same way he treats them. I can say that the best teacher I have ever had in my 19 years, besides my father, is life.

When I’m not impressing people on the dance floor with my dance moves, I am usually impressing people on the soccer field with my smooth moves there. Originally from Saudi Arabia, I am in the USA hoping to major in computer science, a field in which I’m sure I will also impress people one day. You can usually find me shooting pool (another area where my reputation precedes me) or chilling with my friends in 5 points. I like fast cars, rap music, and ice cream. However, when you cannot feel the cool breeze that is Luay Alghalibi and find me, that is because I’ll be in the library studying English so that I can go to the University of South Carolina in the fall.

If you are looking for someone who makes you cry, sorry you are on the wrong page. But if you are looking for someone who can cheer you up, I am your man. I am Mushal Alfarieh from Jubail Industrial city, Saudi Arabia. I was born on March 19, 1988. I like traveling, playing soccer, and of course playing my favorite video game “Play Station.” I set realistic goals for myself to reach, and continue to have a positive outlook on every aspect of life. Every obstacle that I have had to overcome has only made me stronger in mind, body, and spirit. Finally, I like to do things that give me a good reputation.

Being Single is the Best Way to Live

Who loves to stay in jail forever? When you get married, you put yourself in jail. You do not have freedom. You are chained to your family and responsibilities. And you are forced to work hard until you die.

Married people are prisoners because they do not have freedom. They have to spend their time with their families. Married people have to stay with their children and try to teach them everything about life. For example, one of my friends used to hang out a lot and spend most of his time with us before he got married. Now that he is married I meet him only once a month or even less. He can’t play soccer with us as before even if he would love to. We used to travel a lot, but not anymore. His wife wants him to stay with her all the time and to give her all his attention.

When you get married, you have more responsibilities than single people. Married people have responsibilities for their wives and their children. For example, my friend used to take responsibility for himself, but after he got married, he had to take care of his wife and his children and be responsible for them. He has to advise them and to help them when they need it. He is responsible for their health and education.

After they get married, many people have to spend more money than when they were single. They have to pay for most things at home. Married people have to take care of their families and make them happy. For example, they have to pay for the food, clothes, and bills. One of my friends, who got married, used to spend a lot of money for fun. He spent his money everywhere without care. But after he had a wife and children, he could not do the same thing. He has to count his money every time he buys something to save as much as he can.

Before you get married, you should think about it a lot. It is not an easy issue. You will put yourself in jail. Marriage takes away your freedom. Also, you will have more responsibility, and that will cost you a lot. So, live your life and have fun before you decide to go to jail.

Free Life

Do you like being free? Some people prefer to be free while others prefer to be married. Being single is better that being married because single people have less responsibility. They have less cost, and they have less complicated lives.

Single people have less responsibility. They have the ability to do things that they would never do if they were married. For example, I once asked my friend to play soccer with us, and he could not because his wife needs him to be next to her and in front of her eyes all the time. This is just one small thing. There are other things, such as taking care of children and controlling the information they get that might hurt them.

We can save our money by being single. When people get married, they are expected to have money all the time even if they do not have any. They do not realize that their money is being pulled out of their wallets. I did not realize that till I found out how much money my father spends everyday. He spends money for food, schools, cars, clothes and unexpected demands all the time.

We make our lives more complicated when we get married. When we need to make a decision about anything while we are married, we have to think about ten other things at the same time. For example, when married people need to buy a car and they like sport cars, they cannot think only about their desire. They have to think about the consequences of buying that kind of car, such as the size of the car, the price, the color and the safety.

In conclusion, all of us should be free. We know now that being single is better than being married because being single has less responsibility, less cost and it makes our lives less complicated. The choice between being married or being single will control your life.

Anas Ghandorah

This is not my opinion. I was compelled to write about this topic.

Being Single is Better than Being Married

       Who loves being in hell? People in general are divided in two groups, married people and single people. The first group is sick of life. They have nothing exciting to do in this life. They have a lot of responsibilities and must focus only on their children and not other people. On the other hand, there are single people who are free and relaxed. A lot of reasons make being single better than being married. Single people do not have to worry about children or going home early. They are free and hardworking and they do not have a lot of responsibilities.
       Single people do not have to worry about taking care of children or being at home most of the day. In Arabic society a man usually marries after a long history of causing trouble, flirting with women and hooking up with girls. So, as soon as a guy gets married, he kills the idea of being happy in his life. When a man marries, he should take care of his home, job, wife and children. And that would make his life more difficult unless he has two hearts!
       Single people are free and hardworking. They are free and ready for anything that could show up in their life. They don’t have to care about anything except themselves. Also they are hard workers due to their freedom. But married people cannot do as well as single people do. Married people usually are in a bad mood, so they cannot accept the idea of working hard.
       In comparison to married people, single people don’t have a lot of responsibilities. They can travel alone and do
whatever they want. Married people, however, cannot do whatever they want. When a man enjoys life either by traveling or by being nice to other women, immediately his wife goes crazy. At that point, his life turns into hell.
       In conclusion, being single is the right choice for those who want a better financial and psychological life. They don’t have to care about children or spend much time at home. they are hard workers so that they can fulfill their dreams, and they do not have marriage problems.

Single Status

Can you imagine how much freedom you will lose by getting married? Being single is better than being married for many reasons. One reason is that single people have less responsibility. The second reason is to have less cost. Also, single people have more freedom than married people do.

First of all, single people have less responsibility than married people do. Single people only care about themselves because they do not have wives or children. For example, one of my friends is studying at a university. He does not have any obligations towards anybody. He just has to pay the tuition to the university and to concentrate on his studies everyday. As a result, single people have nothing to be anxious about since they are single.

Secondly, single people do not spend a lot of money. Also, they do not have to pay a lot of expenses. For instance, they do not rent a big house to live in. They agree to live in an apartment or a studio because the apartment and the studio cost less money than the house. Also, single people can save their money for the future. They probably want to buy a nice car. So single people spend less money than married people.

Third, single people have freedom. They can go everywhere with no obligation. For example, my brother can stay outside of the house until midnight hanging out with his friends with out receiving calls from anybody, for example, a wife or children. Moreover, he can travel from one place to another without thinking about anybody else.

In conclusion, single people can have a better life than married people because single people have less responsibility, save a lot of money, and have more freedom. Being single is the best thing ever.
