身为单身族，不用花心思取悦另一半，更不用为孩子的吃穿发愁，他们的生活支出应该比已婚（伴侣）族要少。可是，英国最近的一项研究发现，单身族一生的生活支出要比已婚（伴侣）族多出25万英镑，而从生活中得到的欢乐却比已婚（伴侣）族少。该研究显示，单身族每年承担的房屋及食物等方面的支出约为1.2万英镑，几乎占到了他们年收入的一半，而那些有伴侣的人们每年在这方面的支出要比单身族少5000英镑。在生活满意度方面，有三分之二的已婚（伴侣）族表示两人一起生活更开心，而单身族中仅有五分之一表示更喜欢一个人生活。该研究指出，随着物价的不断上涨，一份薪水已经不足以保证原有的生活质量；在英国想要高质量的生活，一个家庭需要有两份薪水支持。
