Having tense problems

Could you please help me correct these sentences?

1 You're money is my money and vice versa. You keep saying “I should just use my own money, but had you spent my money, it would have been the same thing in the end now that we're married. (is "would have been the same" natural?)

2 If someone drove into a bus,the person that drove into the bus would get his car totaled.

3 I wish there was a bus that dropped me off in front of my house.

I wish there was a bus that would drop me off in front of my house.

4 Hypothetically speaking, if that bus you see driving off in the distance was the bus I usually take, I would/will be late because it would get there before I did/do. (last part “before I did” is a joke)

You're money is my money and vice versa. You keep saying “I should just use my money, but had you spent my money, it would have been the same thing in the end.

5 She doesn't want to die not that she's married./gotten married.

Thank you

For 1

Is it ok, something tells me your ok doesn't mean natural, how would you have put it, if it's not natural?

For 3 is there a difference?

How would you say this, which tense ? and does it make sense?

4 Hypothetically speaking, if that bus you see driving off in the distance was the bus one I usually take, I would/will be late because it would get there befor

Ugh - the editor is munged. The strikethroughs don't show... sorry. I've just deleted the words that should be gone...
