Welcome to the second episode of our 3-part miniseries, The Single Tax, all about the invisible financial, emotional, and mental tax single people pay for daring to be unpartnered in a world designed for couples. The Single Tax is hosted by Alexa Claire, TFD Content & Production Manager. Our second episode dives into Alexa Claire's 2-month experiment of outsourcing her dating life: going on 14 first dates in 2 months, and everything that she noticed along the way (financially and otherwise).
