To Avoid Billing

December is the kind of month where being single might just be the ultimate survival hack. Have you really considered the cost implication of being with somebody at this time? Buying gifts, hanging out and all in T-pain’s economy? Where the monthly salary is hardly enough, and the savings have been used for all the previous rainy days.

Let’s face it: dating in December is expensive. By the time you’ve bought gifts, gone on fancy dates, and contributed to family events, you’ll be crying into your empty wallet come January. Staying single ensures you enter the new year financially stable.

Be financially smart my friend and avoid unnecessary bills at this time! Your life might depend on it! In case you’re not sure how to avoid bills, check here and thank me later.

Being single gives you the chance to fully embrace the December groove.

No Pressure for Relationship Posts

Staying single means no pressure to take or fake those perfect Instagram photos. You can scroll in peace and laugh at the oversabi couples.
