Also, there are a ton of sites on the internet with retirement gag gifts. I hate to tell you to google and not give you ideas, but I don't have any gag gift ideas.
Good luck!

From a pure economic perspective which is better staying single or getting married?
Ocean
Considering that being single means all your earnings are kept to yourself. There wouldn't be children or family to spend money on. On the other hand, if you're married you will have almost double income as most couple share their finances.
Answer
As long as you can STAY married it is probably a better economic decision. Divorce is an expensive diversion that is infinitely more expensive than either remaining single or staying married.
Assuming you remain married for the long term you could take advantage of tax breaks like income splitting, child tax benefits, pooled health and dental benefits, shared accomodation costs and joint retirement savings (pooled principal = higher interest earnings/market returns).
Sure, children cost money to raise but they will save you money on things like household maintenance and long term care as you age. Not enough to earn back what you've spent, but hey, happiness in one area of your life can prevent spending in others like binge-drinking and loose women.
As long as we're on women it also bears consideration that a long term partner, while initially expensive (i.e. wedding and a ring), will cost less in the long run than a series of partners whom you wish to impress through splashy first dates and expensive gifts. Also the cost of satisfying your, um, carnal needs is likely lower in the marital bed than through, um, professional services like strippers, escorts, and one night stands.
Of course all of these financial benefits can be negated by being a philandering free spender with his divorce attorney on speed dial...But we all know that any endeavour involving lawyers only benefits lawyers.
Besides, if you don't have the self control to keep it in your pants or the reason to convince the wife to wait on buying that deep freeze, you're probably not destined for financial success anyway- married or single...
