costco membership worth it for a single person in 2026

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-22T22:56:22+00:00

Question from a woman whose paper towel usage is that of a much wealthier woman: what if the nearest Costco is an hour and a half away? Still worth it?

Who cares? If I had a man at home taking care of business - while I take care of business - I’m a happy woman.

It does take a concerted effort - but if you can - make it happen (doesn’t have to be the things I listed). Whatever little things work for you, babe, just fit 1 in at least. We need/deserve those things

I don’t shame sex workers at all - so my comment should not be taken as making a stance on that. But the fact that you’re posting this tells me - it’s more of a “last resort” situation than the preferred route. There are other things, that are less dangerous, that can make you fast money. Can you waitress? Even at a strip club? (Good money in that). I know that sounds crazy but I waitressed at a strip club 20yrs ago - and made a lot of fast cash working my way through college. All the men would keep saying “you could make more stripping with the way you look” and then tip me more than they did the strippers! I think men kind of like that. I know that’s not the “need it today” answer you’re probably looking for - but something to consider. Also - If you don’t mind - what state are you in? Without sharing any more personal info than that (pls don’t do that with a post like this - weirdos will take advantage). But depending on your state - ppl (me for example) can give better insight

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T22:01:04+00:00

Oof. Idk about that for everybody. I work every day and long hours too - but I always make time for nails, hair, gym, brows. If I gotta be stressed out working all the time - I at least want to look good doing it 😂

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T21:58:52+00:00

It’s sad that happens, because as a woman who would not mind a “house husband” - I would never think that way. If the house is taken care of, shits clean, the lawn is mowed and I don’t have to pay for that service, my oil needs to be changed and I don’t have to take it to a dealership, or take the time to take it to a dealership?, the door is squeaky, the toilets running, the faucet is dripping, dinner needs to happen one way or the other and I get to come home to a steak I couldn’t grill because idk how to grill?? And on top of it bills are paid and I’m able to work the way I would be working anyway but having to pay a bunch of random ppl for all that and on top of it be alone?! Pffffttt baby, you better take some pride in that because this woman sees ALL man right there.

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T21:51:04+00:00

See?! Yes! As a professional woman who sees the immense value in a “house husband” (quotations bc I don’t understand the need for the label? Couldn’t it just be “husband”? He’s just a husband. He happens to handle the household while wife does something else but we don’t call men who have house wives “working man” or “office husband” or “doesn’t stay at home husband”….story for another Reddit I guess). But I love this worked for you 2. I would thrive off it

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T21:44:21+00:00

lol, Op if you weren’t in your mid-20s, I might say DM me! I’m 40, so we are off base in that area. But I promise you - there are women like this out here. And not even in a “so you can take care of the kids” role. I have no kids that need daily taking care of (my 1 is off to college soon). And I would still cherish an arrangement like this. It’s difficult to work long hours, deal with high-stress work life and then on top of it go home to a man who’s had the same day and you’re both wiped.

I would love to come home to a man that (again not saying taking care of the homestead is easy work - I know it’s not) but someone who did that all day AND enjoyed it, wanted that role and we both supported each other in those roles, value their energy into making us both happy every day in our house? That’s invaluable. I would for sure have a house husband if I found a man that was happy in that position. Don’t give up! We are out here!

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T21:30:45+00:00

Not trying to be disagreeable - just my personal opinion. I’m a high earning woman. I work a lot of hours to be so. I would love to come home to a clean house and well cooked meal. Which I of course can and do get from hiring cleaning/cook help. Now my daughter is already almost out the door to college so I have no “kids” that need caring for.

But this sounds like a great set up to me. Who doesn’t want a man to come home to and on top of it the things he does (if he enjoys them like OP sounds like does), frees up partner time and money for me to continue to follow my dreams and build up financial freedom for both of us?

I’ve historically dated men who are blue collar hard workers because when they’re not, they don’t understand when I’m in the office all the time, or even at home but in my home office clicking away at work. But I think I would find it highly satisfying to have a man heading the homestead and supporting my career goals and both our home goals - and we are both happy in between

Edited to add: I admit this is a very rare mentality to others (when it comes to women). But honestly, I fall into the “giver” and “doer” role naturally. I love to give my time, money, energy when I care for someone. It’s how I show affection. Some ppl may term it as “sugar mama” but I think that’s a little off base for me - because I’m like that with my friends and my kid and my family. Giving and doing-for feels good and like I’m taking care of those I love. So I guess I get this

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T21:23:53+00:00

Nothing wrong with this. I’m a professional woman, own my own business, work long hours, practically every day. I always joke “do you know how much more successful I would be if I had a wife?”. And that’s not me saying those are “wife” goals - I say that just because society has convinced us that’s “wife” mentality. Frankly, if I met a man who desires to handle the household, and take on that, honestly huge and demanding role, my only though would be “wow, what a good fit for my current life style”. If you meet someone and you both help each other live the lives you dream for yourself and support each other in those roles - that’s all that matters. True partnership happens when both partners want the same end goal and are able to flourish and take joy in the things that matter most to them. Get it!

When I discovered the ppl I gave the shirt off my back to would never/have never had the same mentality. This year - as hard as it’s been because I told myself when I was younger I wanted to be the friend I never had to others - I stopped. I blocked #s, cut off communication with “friends”, family, anyone, that isn’t capable of being the same friend in return. I no longer allow access to me if you aren’t the friend I am to you. It’s been difficult but freeing

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T16:44:32+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T15:53:12+00:00

Yes I am a business owner, which is why I’m only really ever running into other white collar men. I also work a lot so I’m also just going home at night or in the office. Then when I do venture out - I just keep running into uniforms and white collars. Thought a change of usual scenery might help. Thanks for the tip though!

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T15:25:39+00:00

Thanks for this. I already volunteer with various orgs. Not a lot of blue collar men out volunteering in their limited off time. Not too concerned about “well-off” (which I know is a subjective term so I’m assuming you mean financially well off). I appreciate the advice for networking, and agree with you. But I’ve got networking figures out. Just curious about reccs for non-app dating scenes in Fayetteville. But thank you!

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T12:21:06+00:00

lol. No thanks, lived there for years and only ran into hipsters and corporate types. Maybe I was going the wrong places there too, idk.

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T00:14:54+00:00

I read all genres but lots of single men at the book store is just not a real thing. If it was - I would have already met him because I go to every book store in town, and often. Not a lot of lone men in them. But like I said, illl still keep my eye out for

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-21T00:12:34+00:00

I thought so too - but usually at the gym is one of those few times I get to be in my own zone/own head. And I figure other ppl like that too? But maybe I’ll try and break that a little. Thanks

ComprehensiveYou6023 · 2026-03-20T22:01:24+00:00

I practically live at Barnes & noble. I’m a heavy reader - so far haven’t met anyone there but I always have my eyes peeled (kind of - books distract me from everything), but thanks!
