Happy Friday! I seem to be having some computer issues again! (ugh) Between my laptop, which is less than a year old, and my internet it’s been taking around 5 minutes to log onto a single page on the internet. I’m getting so frustrated.

Myths regarding the IRS run the gamut. From the anal-retentive auditor showing up on your porch to the dreaded “don’t ask, don’t tell” approach, it can get quite difficult differentiating the facts from fiction.

There are many advantages of having joint finances with your spouse: additional income and financial security being a couple of the most important. However, now that I have been on both sides of the fence I’d say there are just as many financial advantages of being single. Here are some of the biggest financial advantages of being on your own.
