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. In our last episode, Alexa talks about the financial and social privileges that come with being in a relationship—privileges many couple people don’t even realize they have.
