Even if they don't die now, there's complications that can kill them that happen 2 months later (for the more dangerous one), or 7-10 years later (for the sneaky one). Measles is a nasty virus and there's a long list of damn good reasons why everyone who possibly can should be vaccinated against it.
Is there any way to know if you've been vaccinated against it that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
I don't see why you couldn't just get vaccinated. No harm even if you were previously.
My mom's record keeping of my vaccinations as a kid was a shit show so I ended up just getting the ones I wasn't sure about later in life when I found out she might have skipped some 🙄
I would start with checking out your local health department, or potentially even Planned Parenthood or similar community clinics that offer low-cost primary care services.
Getting a titer shouldn't be very expensive.
It's an employer obligation in certain healthcare industries, including working in a hospital for support staff.
Speaking of which, anyone working a terrible retail job should start applying to hospitals in their area, you'd be surprised how much better pay and benefits can be.
Search "{state} vaccination records" for every state you've (might) have received in it and hope you don't live in a shit hole state that doesn't maintain records
