Spending money to create efficiency and buy back time

Hi, I’m Renée, a finance and business journalist, writer and content strategist. The Budgette is a chill newsletter about single finances and is published twice a month to more than 2,000 subscribers. I prefer to write when I have something to say and it gives me time to speak to financial, legal and other experts. When I’m not here, I work on content strategy and execution for Canadian and U.S. publications and brands. If you want to work together, message me or you can find me on LinkedIn.

Ok, ok, everyone. As you know, this newsletter is about how financially different (good and bad) it is to be single. I’ve been banging on about the single tax for three years.

Check this out, Americans (and Canadians, there are some similarities such as social security, which I wrote about in 2019): I find it interesting that the media and the financial industry have finally clued in on how expensive it is to be single. (The video’s suggestions are typical and fine, but I will also say political action is also key.)
