This is from today's Washington Post
[b]Don’t be a bachelor: Why married men work harder, smarter and make more money[/b]

I'm an old married guy and this article had me howling. Basically, single guys are lazy layabouts. When men get married they stress about money so they work hard and chase promotions. Of course, if they divorce, then they start working less. 
It's written by a group at UVA that is promoting marriage as a cure all for society's ills. God bless 'em.

Marriage has been awful for our finances and after more than a decade of wedded bliss I have never gotten back to earning as much as I did when I was single and had the time to throw myself into work. Oh well, somebody has to screw up the data and in this case, it's me.

I'd love to hear what the OP thinks of this story.[/quote]
