In the short term maybe, but there's definitely some areas where things become more affordable when you have two incomes contributing. Housing is a big one, and apparently also taxes.

Recent article about that: https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/24055481/single-benefits-married-couple-taxes-money

Just find an enterprising other individual and create a business plan to get married on paper.

You might want two main bedrooms in a house. So a little remodeling cost. But then you can resell later as a mother-in-law room.

Hahaha, definitely something that has crossed my mind more than a few times. I definitely see marriage as a business arrangement between good friends that hopefully includes a romantic/sexual component. Just not really sure how/where to go about interviewing for that role. Lol.
