Now that my PMS anxiety is gone, I am pretty happy. I have a boy that loves me, a condo I love, cats that like it when I sleep in, problems that I can solve and family to hang out with. Life is pretty good for me.

Last night I found someone to buy my car. Yeah, sometimes it is annoying having a mom that networks all the time but she does find people. I am going to sell it for $1000, I was up front about all the issue about it and we are going to transfer it the first part of July. Oh Hoopty, I'll miss you.

Did you know that you can give a car to someone and not pay sales tax on it? I didn't know this? I have to call the DMV next week to figure out how to do this but I read the rules and I think Zach and I just have to sign an affidavit saying that it is a gift. Score! I would rather give him the money then the State of MN. Then again, if I gave him the money, it wouldn't be a gift. LOL.

It is so weird to be slowly merging my finances with someone. I really thought I would have more of an issue with this but I don't. Maybe it is because I happen to have a job right now and he doesn't so I feel like I am building up good will or something but I feel like we are going to get along pretty well with this stuff.

Lance and I kept our finances seperate when we lived together and then when we got married we opted to combine. I really thought it was going to freak me out but I have never looked back. I can't figure out why we waited so long to do that. LOL...well...if I'm honest I actually can't remember what it was like before combined finances, but it definitely hasn't been an issue.

I remember an old teacher of mine saying that he "sold" his car to his son for a dollar because if he had given it as a gift, he would have had to pay taxes on it. I think that was in Florida but it's worth checking into just in case.

It's definitely a process!

I'm not a big fan of merging finances. Once was enough, and it was kind of a disaster area looong before the relationship was a disaster area. Having shared assets, sure, but I like clearly defined financial boundaries. Even now, when I'm living with someone who's EXTREMELY more financially-smart than I am.
