As the wife in the scenario, I would *not* be happy if my husband “gave” me a car for Christmas.

I did last year over the holidays. But only because my insurance company called me and told me that they were totaling my car due to excessive storm damage (golf ball sized hail).
We only have 1 car so I went out the next morning and bought a new car.

How do you go about splitting

Ha! I could, but when he lived in NYC for years (we both lived there at the same time but never met…we met much later) he let his license lapse. So now he has to do it all over again. So I’m working on getting him to get his license first (unless he has 15 DUIs under his belt and spent time in jail on that account and never told me about it 🤣).

Yes. He let his go and didn’t renew within 30 days because he didn’t need it when he was living in NYC. It’s been years now.

Hey all! I’m 30 years old. About to close on a house with a 5.75% fixed 30 yr mortgage.

The 5.75% doesn’t feel that low but also not crazy high so I’m torn. Thoughts? 🙏
