## Resource

A new report from BMO's Real Financial Progress Index finds that dating is becoming increasingly expensive for Americans. The average date now costs nearly $200, while many singles report going on fewer dates and questioning whether the financial investment is worthwhile. Younger generations, in particular, say dating expenses are making it harder to achieve their financial goals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
