Arrow Attn. Married AO Consumers: What would be different if you had just stayed single?

I'll start:

work out everyday for an hour
save more money
only spend about $50 week on groceries
drive a way better car
live in a smaller house, decorated just the way I like it
go out/party more
spend more time on my hobbies

I'd probably be miserable.

I like the way it is. Could use more wonky, but that's a function of my frustration with my job.

I can't imagine I'd be very happy unless I moved to the city, close to some friends. I'd have a lot more money and I'd spend most of it on guitar equipment. I'd also have slept with more women I suppose.

My home would be smaller, and much messier.

I probably wouldn't have finished college.

I'd be wasting a ton of time playing video games.

I'd probably be much heavier, due to eating fast food instead of cooking my own food.

I'd probably be 400 pounds, depressed, and still living alone in an apartment in a crappy little town in Orange Co., NY.

I'd have more money, live in a nicer place, have a cleaner car, and do more of what _I_ wanted to do.

You talk about more money, but dual income and only one mortgage between us is nice.

If I didn't have my wife I'd spend more time with the dog, and not have my son.
I'd have a much messier home and a room for my reenacting.
Of course, there's other women thing, duh, but this is all predicated on never meeting the wife. (Had to put this in for the lawyers )
I'd still have the same job, but I like my job so that's cool.
I wouldn't have started to pick up another language.
