Forty million people live in single-income households, and that means shouldering immense financial burdens alone. Anne Helen Petersen, author of the Substack newsletter Culture Study, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why the rate of singles and solo-living individuals is growing in America, what happens as the cost of living rises, and why she believes the nation is set up to reward the partnered and the married. Her Vox article is headlined “The escalating costs of being single in America.”
