After reading Boston Gal’s Open Wallet post, I said she should write them and ask why they were only seeking couples. Instead of just barking orders, I emailed USA Today and finally got a reply from personal finance reporter, Kathy Chu:
Got your message, and thanks for your interest in this series. We decided to do a series about couples because last year, we did a similar one for everyone – so we were just trying to do something a little different this year.This is what we did last year: http://www.usatoday.com/money

2005 was for families, this year couples, maybe 2007 will be the year of the singleton?!

You are such a “follow-througher”! Good job on asking the question and getting the response. Here’s hoping 2007 is the “year of the singleton”
I can’t ever recall anything on budgeting specificly geared for singles…it’s always couples or families or very generic…never specificly singles.
