Recession Romance

.

I saw a most fascinating report on ABC's Nightline last night about how the recession is affecting the dating lives of single adults. I wish the network would let me embed the video for you but, alas, they will not. So here's a link to the report on their website. Check it out. It's fascinating.

The conclusion of the report was that because money is tight, singles are starting to look for other things than wealth in a partner. They are actually now looking for lasting romance and people who make do with what they have. Because extravagance and wealth are not a part of every single adult's life right now. Go figure! It takes tough economic times to turn people back to what really makes romance and relationships work: time and contentment.

The video is worth watching.
