When I was single I was always envious of couple who could share the bills/rent etc. Now that I’m married I realize that financially I was far better off when I was single.
Regardless, I really enjoy being a husband and a dad so I wouldn’t have it any other way.

a good analysis. with kids, difinantly, it will be much more expenses.
Well, I’m a stay-at-home-mom, so my situation is different than yours, but in SOME ways, costs have gone down, but in other ways, they’ve gone up.
For example…we’re only paying one version of bills, like you said, but also like you said, rent tends to be higher (because we have a daughter). Also, having a child DOES make it more expensive – conservative estimates say that if you only provide the basics (with public school) that you’ll spend near $1 million by the time the baby reaches 18, and THEN many parents pay for college as well. Of course, it doesn’t SEEM like that (except for diaper prices *sigh*) but it adds up in the long run.
Another thing I’ve noticed that is different is that when you share with your spouse (someone you actively TRY to get on with), decisions are made mutually, whereas when I had a roommate (female), we often disagreed on certain bills (I thought cable internet was necessary, but she wanted dial-up AND the ability to complain when I was researching on the internet and she wanted to use the telephone).
All-in-all, though, I’d say that aside from rent (where we live, EVERYTHING is high-rent), we don’t spend much more combined than what each of us spent separately when dating.
The marriage penalty tax was removed a couple years ago. The new tax tables reflect that change, thank goodness!
hi Loretta,
Actually the marriage penalty wasn’t removed. It was slightly adjusted so that it isn’t as bad as before.
For example, if two people had incomes of $77,000 a year then they’re both in the 25% marginal tax bracket. However, a married couple would be in the 28% marginal tax bracket if their combined income is $128,500. $77,000 * 2 = $154,000 so there is still a marriage penalty.
Hi Jesse,
Thanks for the analysis! I do agree that with roommates sometimes shared expenses are sort of odd. For example, myself and another roommate were not at home very much, but the third roommate was always home and she liked to turn up the heat to 90 degrees. So a lot of the electricity/gas bill is attributed to the third roommate but we still paid the same share of the bill. One of my ex-roommates is a flight attendant so she was home about 5 days out of the month and so she really paid for a lot of expenses that she didn’t use. It’s different to share with a husband because he is a permanent roommate and part of the family.
Actually, I just ran the numbers according to the 2006 IRS tax tables:
single at $77,000 pays $15,899, or 20.6% in taxes
married at $154,000 pays $32,524 ($24,040 + 28% over 128,700) which is 21.1% in taxes
At lower incomes, married pay less than single in some cases. I took $30,000 for single: pays $4126 in taxes, whereas married $60,000 pays $8249…$3 less than $4126 x 2.
It obviously makes a difference where on the income level you are with the tax tables. However, the “marriage penalty tax” is non-existant at the median household income levels (yes, it used to be there a few years ago). It is still around, to an extent, at higher incomes, though, even at the incomes you quote it is only less than .5%.
Thanks for your informative blog and for letting me comment. It is through a free-flow of ideas that we all can meet our financial goal.
Hey Loretta! Thank you for your calculations. Actually, as far as I know the current marriage penalty adjustment will only last until 2011. If the government does not permanently repeal the marriage penalty then it will come back full force. See this link:
Additionally, this year the AMT exemption for married couples has reverted back to the $45,000 so a lot more married couples may be hit with the AMT. So I’m not sure if I will have to pay it with the hubby or not.
I didn’t even know there was this so called “marriage penalty”…what would I do without your blog, Xin?!
Paying only 1 rent was the biggest savings. Combining accounts and sharing everything was the hardest thing to get use to when married.
My husband is VERY expensive to feed — he still eats like a teenage boy at almost 40 — it doesn’t help that he likes very expensive beer and wine. I hardly spent anything on food and alcohol when I was single.
We have kids now, and kids are not that expensive in theory, but even though we are not big on the “buying a bunch of crap” mentality, we do want to live in a safe neighborhood, in a good school district and in a decent house they can feel good about growing up in. And, oh my, that alone is spendy!
Hi Kyle!
Our rent ended up increasing because the landlord for my old condo was my roommate’s friend for 35 years and he never increased rent for a very long time. He increased my rent by $25 in 2 years, and all the other landlords in the county were increasing rents 10 to 20% a year. So when we found a place together it ended up being a little more expensive, but it’s still not so bad.
Hi Staci,
Yeah, boys do eat and drink a lot. The “safe neighborhood” & “good school district” are things I am worried about when we have kids. Right now we don’t really care because we are not going to school anymore so we can just live wherever we want. However, I am very acutely aware that neighborhoods with good schools in the Bay Area carry a crazy premium.
