It's not in everyone's best interest today to have a home complete with a husband, three kids, and even a little cocker spaniel. Sometimes, the single road in life is the road better taken. Here are 7 reasons why you might still choose to be single..

• Love Your Career

Some people have no desire to be in a relationship. They want to succeed in their career. Being in a relationship is a distraction. If you’ve got your eye on the gold, sometimes it’s better to be single.

• No Need To Plan

I’m a planner. I could plan my whole year in advance and be happy. But some people hate planning. They like to do whatever they want, when they want. If you aren’t in a relationship, you never have a reason to plan.

• Personal Time

When you’re in a relationship, your personal time slowly disappears. You spend most of your time with your boyfriend or girlfriend. If you’re single, you don’t have to worry about spending too much time with someone else. You have all the time in the world to hang out with yourself.

• Celibacy

Not everyone loves sex. Some people prefer to remain celibate. If constant sex isn’t your thing and you’re in favor of celibacy, you’re better off being single.

• Bachelor Land

When you’re not taken, you can date whomever you want, whenever you want. You don’t have to worry about reporting to someone. You’re in charge of your dating life and it can be as busy as you like.

• Friend Time

In a relationship, most of your time is spend with your boyfriend or girlfriend. The amount of time you have to hang out with your friends is limited. When you’re boyfriendless or girlfriendless, you can be with your friends a whole bunch.

• Save Money

Being single is the wise economical choice. You don’t have to spend money on presents or fancy dinners. You’re free to save money, instead of spending it like water.
