Australian singles pay nearly $10,000 more annually for basic household costs

Australian singles pay nearly $10,000 more annually than coupled individuals to cover basics like rent, utilities, and internet, according to new ING research. Singles save about $400 monthly less than couples, leaving them with roughly $20,000 less in savings on average.
