Marriage has a lifestyle inflation effect because 2 people are rarely willing to give up same things. So if one is willing to give up in-unit laundry and the other is willing to give up air conditioning, guess what, you’re going to end up with both and work more to pay for it.

Only way married people can make cost-down tradeoffs is if both really badly want actual money in the bank more than lifestyle features. The big-saver couples I know of share a fundamental miserliness. They’d both rather have the money than anything you can buy with money.
