I’m 65. Living Alone Made Me Richer Than Marriage Ever Did

They always tell you that "two can live as cheaply as one," but after 65 years, I’ve seen the devastating financial truth. If you’ve been told that staying single is a path to scarcity, you’ve been sold a script designed for consumption, not your freedom.

I’ve watched brilliant people lose half their life's work in a "grey divorce" and others spend their peak years funding a lifestyle they didn't even want just to keep up appearances. Today, we’re breaking down the hidden wealth of living alone—from the "Identity Tax" you pay in relationships to the "Solo Dividend" that can fast-track your path to total financial autonomy. This isn't just about money; it's about the power to wake up and realize you don't owe anyone an explanation or a cent.
