Equal partnership. I get veto power over her big spends and vice versa.

That’s what I like, a 50/50 marriage. Although yours isn’t like mine. Our 50/50 is I make it and she spends it. It’s amazing how well that has worked for over 50 years.

All joking aside my wife and I are like this as well.

Just order another one. Even if the lease is $200/mo more, you are way ahead.

As to cars I can generally do whatever I want as long as I can tolerate the side eye look of disdain. Even though she knows I’m as cheap as she is and won’t be too extravagant I always like to get her stamp of approval.
Generally we each have our own money and don’t try to control the other’s spending. Just the other day I asked her if it would be ok with her if I donated $1000 to a particularly deserving charity. She said “do what you want, I’ve been donating more than that for years.” I never knew.
Maybe she has a garage full of Maseratis hidden somewhere that I don’t know about either.

My wife tells me to just get whatever car I want. She knows I’m too frugal to go too overboard. Though if I did start mentioning a Porsche at $1,2000/month I might get more than a side eye.

My veto sometimes gets overridden, not sure why.

Salesperson tells me still no word on the Mach E fix. I have reached out to Koons about the TRX. I have a feeling the wait time may kill that, though.

oddly, they have a ton of RDXs listed (even more than I recall back when I was shopping). So there is something out there if you are shopping.

Chapman is 11% off MSRP. Everything taken into consideration, they would come to roughly $800 more than Koons, but Koons wants $1k deposit.
