THE ATLANTIC – In the past, people often turned to love during hard times, like during the Great Depression or after the 2008 financial crash. But today, many are avoiding dating due to financial stress. A 2022 survey by Dating.com found that nearly half of singles skipped dates to save money. A 2024 LendingTree poll showed that 65% said inflation affected their dating life. Experts like sociologist Pepper Schwartz and psychologist Johanna Peetz explain that many now see relationships as something to start after becoming financially stable, not as a way to build a life together.
