although there are hidden costs to being married, i think you save money overall. also, men will live slightly longer, probably because their wives will bug them to go to the doctor until they do so when they feel that giant tumor on their husband’s back. probably worth the 500,000 tax break.
sure you have the cost of kids that often come with marriage, but frankly, i probably wouldn’t be able to keep a steady job if i didn’t have a family. i doubt i’d get out of bed every morning. so the financial benefits outweigh the costs, for me…
