52% Of Men Believe They'd Be Richer Single

A new survey has revealed that more than half of men believe they would be richer – if they were single.

The study, commissioned by TotallyMoney.com, found that 52% of men feel they spend more money in a relationship than they would if they were single, with dates, gifts and romantic trips away all adding up.

Of the 600 participants, men were more likely to argue they would have more money if they didn't have a partner (52%), while 61% of women said they they were better off financially when in a relationship.

Interestingly, 68% of singletons agreed they would be wealthier staying single.

Looking at the generation gap, a majority of those aged between 35 and 44 said they would be financially richer single, while 51.6% of those aged between 24 and 35 said they would be richer in a relationship.

The study revealed, however, that the outlook changes as people get older. Above the average child-rearing age of 35, women are likely to feel financially stable in a relationship, while men are more likely to believe in a 'lucrative' single lifestyle. 68.8% of men in a relationship said they would be richer alone, while 50% of women in a relationship felt they'd be richer with their partner.

Elsewhere, men in Northern Ireland, who are also currently in a relationship, are the most likely to believe they would be richer if they were single, while a third of Scottish men said they would have more money if they were alone.

The survey by TotallyMoney.com was carried out to celebrate the launch of its new quiz: 'Are You Richer Single or In a Relationship?'
