I drive a 17 year-old Ford Escape I paid $5,000 for nine years ago. Had to get a new transmission 5 years ago, so I’m good for another 10 years.
Wife drives a 2015 loaded Honda Accord. Only has 35,000 miles on it.
We’re 71 and 69. At some point we might go to just one car, but insurance for both is only $140/month.
We’re at the age where we don’t eat as much as we used to, so we often split an order at a Mexican restaurant. We still tip very well; about 25%.

Half of 25% is 12.5%% .... not a terrible tip, but, not what it would be if you were ordering TWO meals :)
Two meals at 12.00, each = $24.00
Two teas @ 2.00, ea = $4.00
$28.00 ... x 25% = $7.00 tip
One meal = $12.00
Two teas = $4.00
$16.00 x 25% = $4.00
When we split, we bump the tip up to what it would be if we were both having an entree.
