4 August 2026Jemma CrewBusiness reporter Leanne and Sarah/BBCSarah and Leanne say their decision to buy a house together as friends worked out wellWhen Leanne split up with her partner in her late 20s she thought she'd have to put her dream of a buying a home in the area where she grew up on hold. She was earning a good salary but the properties she was hoping for - with a garden and parking space - were too expensive on her own. While she'd just started seeing someone new, it was very early days - far too early to discuss living together. Her friend since school, Sarah, was single and renting a room in a shared house in Brighton. She also wanted to move back home to Kent, but was worried about how she'd get on the housing ladder on her cabin crew salary. When Sarah suggested they buy together, Leanne admits she "totally baulked". But after chatting with a mortgage adviser they went ahead - and say it's helped them avoid the so-called singles tax. Not being partnered up can mean extra costs. It's tricky to quantify and varies by location - estimates suggest it could be anything from hundreds of pounds to £10,000 on average extra a year.

Galit Rodan/The Globe and MailAt 53 years old, Matt has achieved his goal of retiring early with a comfortable lifestyle. His wife Mary, who is 50, would like to join him before year end. She’ll be leaving behind a technical consulting job paying $148,000 a year. The couple have a mortgage-free house valued at $2.7-million in the Greater Toronto Area and three children aged 19, 16 and 15. They have about $1.4-million in personal investments, all held in registered accounts, and Matt has another $289,000 in his corporation. In addition, Matt owns several properties in Florida worth $3.5-million gross, with $885,000 of associated debt. The properties generate positive cash flow. He also gets $57,600 a year in investment income. Their goals include paying for their children’s higher education, giving the children $100,000 each toward a home purchase, travelling and maybe buying a cottage. They ask if they can maintain their standard of living if Mary retires now.
