They use their own names and are not married. Each has a reasonable job and I don't think they plan to marry at all. They save quite a bit on taxes. Isn't it a silly tax system we have? Sure you can share with your cohabitor but each person still has to eat, rent, pay for gas; no different from people renting apartments to split costs, and they aren't penalized. Stuart
