Embracing the single life may be a bummer for romance, but it has big advantages for your wallet, as dating costs more than ever.

That comes out to a 3.42% compound annual inflation rate. Seems normal.

Fearporn.

That’s because nobody “dates” anymore. Snowflakes just “hang out” and then go somewhere and “hook up” a couple times.

Back in “the day”, my dad could go on a date for $1.00 ... and have change left over (he’ll be 100 next month).

Sticking your dick into crazy will cost you a LOT more than that.

Warning.... Sometimes they don’t let the crazy out until it’s way too late.

Our teenage son saved up $3000 busing tables. Then he got a car (from us for nothing) and a girlfriend.

He now has $150.

Yep, just poor weak lazy journalism, per usual.

Similar to our 20-something son.

We gave his girlfriend a birthday dinner out.

She said “”The XYZ wine is wonderful here” so we bought a bottle of it.

Got the bill and it was $120 for the bottle!

No wonder our son is broke now. :(
