You’re single. Whether this current status is by choice or not, facing your financial situation alone can be a challenge, if not frightening.

Liberty is a better husband than love to many of us,” wrote Louisa May Alcott, author of the great American novel Little Women, in her journal entry for Valentine’s Day 1868.
