Next time you think about going on a date, ask yourself if it’s really worth it? A new study shows that the average American will spend just over $121,000 on dates in their lifetime.

We’re not saying that permanent celibacy is the way to go, but $121,000 is a lot of moolah.

What’s amazing is that the cost of dating tends to go up after a couple has been married. The average person spends $168 on dates a month, but people who are married rack up a $186 monthly bill. 

28% of people admitted that they’d go into debt to continue dating. We salute those people.
