A couple of weeks ago, I forgot to pay my rent. You can imagine the stomach-plummeting that happened when I realised. Thankfully I got away with it because my landlord is even more disorganised than I am and hadn’t even noticed it was late. I won’t bore you with why I forgot except to say going freelance and therefore not having the trigger of my wages coming into my account to remind me my rent was due was a factor. I was also in the tricky period before payments for freelance work had started rolling in, but I could still pay it as I’d saved for this eventuality. However, the situation made me think about the financial burden of being single. I couldn’t help but think about how much easier life would be if I had a live-in partner to help pick up the slack.
