Or, perhaps you’ll admit that you’ve thought it about another single–that guy or gal who says no to marriage, no to a long-term relationship or who seems to jump from one relationship to another without a care for the feelings of others.

Big Purchase, Big Decision For single adults, financial decisions often feel like something you have to do on your own. Sure, you have friends and family to help.
