    So I've been driving my 2005 Prius for 15 years now. It's been to Maine, Florida, Texas, and all the way out here to Cali. It had 205k miles on it, but the replacement battery I put in it 4 years ago was dying, and I was putting a quart of oil in it every 2 weeks. So it was time.
    I use to be into cars when I was a kid, but now, I really have zero interest in having a car payment ever again, so I didn't want something new. RJEL girl wanted a new car for a while, so I told her I would buy her pristine (she takes care of her cars much better than I) 2010 prius with only 80k miles off her and she could get something new. She got some quotes for it and I offered her 7k for it which was fair. She went out and bought a 2020 Rav-4 hybrid for like 45k! whatever, she's happy. Its got a radio you can rewind! I've never heard of such a thing! Anyway, we were looking into transferring her title to me, but regardless of how much we listed the sale as, they were going to charge us market sales tax for the thing! Seemed ridiculous for us to pay $600 to transfer the car from one side of the garage to the other, so, long story short, I'm getting married tomorrow at 3pm.
    Awesome! Congrats!

          ha.

          we keep finances pretty split (e.g. I'm giving her 7k for her car), I mean, we don't split dinner checks or anything, but we have our own accounts, split the bills and each pay the mortgage every other month.

          I've told my SIL that Jen and I work because we are both supportively independent. I think we are both a little freaked out by being titled as Married, but it sorts out so much legally.

            "supportively independent"....that's a great term.

                      I got my own set of clippers pretty early on and have been doing my own with a 1.5 setting. Last time I did them I noticed I missed a spot and tried to touch it up. Then I realized I had forgotten to put the 1.5 guard back on, so I had to shave it all without a guard. It was very short.

                        I think my last cut was in January. I wore my hair long for many years but not since 2009. I can just put in back in a ponytail. My girls hate it. They also hate my Seth Bullock stash.

                            LOL, congrats! Honestly, there's no better reason to get married than because a title transfer costs way too much.
