Spending Habits

I recently came across an article about the difference between single people and people in a couple whether married or just dating. It described the spending habits of habitual single people as compared to couple's. As stated in this article single people tend to spend less on things like eating out and rent. I would have to agree with this from the point of view of if you were a single person you may feel intimidated to go out to a restaurant alone and really you may not feel the need to in the first place. The opposite can be the case when you are in a relationship as you may find yourselves wanting to eat out for the social aspect of it or just because it is easier then preparing a meal at home. Also on the living condition, I could see people in a couple thinking they need more space than a single person may feel they need therefore adding to the living expenses for the couple. I know personally having just moved into a new home we are beginning to look around for a Secured Loan to help us finance some of the repairs and upgrades we need to make to our home, and to consolidate some of our other outstanding bills from our relocation and Christmas.
