Default relationship costs

Millionster writes about the hidden costs of a girlfriend.

Single Ma counters with hidden costs of a boyfriend.

My Open Wallet sums it up and recommends a long distance relationship for the best of both worlds.

I'm single because of my frugality. Yeah, that's it.

I love how you are able to sell that line without barely a trace of bitterness.

Happy belated Valentine's Day?

Anyone who would recommend or prefer a long distance relationship, especially to just avoid financial strain, shouldn't be in a relationship to begin with.

With that being said, I prefer long distance relationships and completely agree with My Open Wallet.

Funny posts, all of them! I think that may be why I was in a hurry to get married, I wanted to save some money!

Me too CFO. I don't know if it is an unrealistic fantasy or not, but I keep thinking my life will finally start after I get married.

On the other hand, anyone who calculates relationships in terms of money really doesn't deserve one.

WOW I can tell you have never been "challenged" by the universal question of what to do with a man you love who just can't seem to take care of his business. In hindsigt I could be callous and just say he was a user - tried that and it just made me feel bad about ME and didn't change history one bit. Without trashing him or telling my dirty laundry here on the web I have had to toughen up and realize that anyone who needs my financial help can't whole heartedly be in the relationship because he loves ME. You can't ever really know that it's love if there is a financial benefit in staying with someone.
