If something happened to your SO, could you survive financially?
Hubby and I have been doing some figuring and if anything happened to either of us, the other would be not so financially sound even after life insurance because of what the government would take.
The 8th grade plagiarizing school teacher that got a huge ring for Christmas then complained about her husbands affections on a cruise they were going on.
She came back declaring her love for someone she met on the cruise and how she couldn`t afford to live after a divorce but now this.
I wonder if Mr greenbriar sleeps with one eye open? :o

7. I thought the government would take a part of the life insurance
if they don't then we would be okay

12. In that case, I would be fine
his life insurance would pay off all our debt and the house would be free because we have that survivors benefit...
I am nto as worried now

Today's vocabulary word is "premeditated". Can you say "premeditated"?
I knew you could.

Imagine how little those kids she "teaches" must learn.
I bet everyday is one non stop rant of one sort or another.

Um, Life Insurance is not taxable: http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq4-9.html
So I don't know what she means that the Govt will take some of it.
Me, if I go, Mrs. FD will return to Mexico with a cool couple of million in her pocket. Good thing she likes me. A lot.
;)

I think someone's been watching "To Die For" a few times too many. I doubt she'd have the guts to do it herself. However, unless she looks something like Nicole Kidman (highly unlikely, bitter, hateful woman are ALWAYS butt ugly), she'll be hard pressed to find a 14 year old to do it for her. Just think, though, since her and TiT are such good friends they could double date.

Or maybe TiT can use his "2nd Most Decorated Sailor in the Navy" skills to make Mr Briar dissapear, since he's expressed an interest in her before.
-
Sounds like she's planning to off him. Watch out, Mr. Greenbriar! :lmao:
Of course if you're married to her it might be a 'mercy killing.'
The Feds won't take tax the life insurance proceeds on your spouse, at least as long as they pay to you personally instead of to some exotic and unnecessary financial scam, but state inheritance taxes may or may not apply to it.
Read a damned book, greenbriar, instead of just copying stuff from them.
:loser:

Good grief....she wants the man dead.
And on a side note, if something happened to Mr Flame, I'd be fine. Ditto if something happened to me.
At least finacially. Emotionally, I'm not so sure.

It scares the Bejezzus out of me that this psycho freak is entrusted with the care of school children every day...

The second part is what would scare the Hell out of me. Raising our daughter as a single Dad, crying myself to sleep night after night. It would be tough.

despite our issues here, we also have had an emergency financial plan for many years now. It would allow me to complete school while remaining focused on the kids here for a few years and manage anything that would come after. By the same token, my other half, while not having as much on me, would still have plenty to at least pay the car off and a respectable portion of the mortgage, making new found childcare duties an easier expense on him and making his lifestyle and the children's, at least financially, pretty stable.
Why greenbrier would choose this as the time to discuss something like this given her multiple threads on how unhappy she is with the man is what is perplexing. I actually think I might 'get' her. I think she's grateful to the husband on a financial level and knows he is a good provider, but is very unhappy with the emotional aspect of the marriage. If that's all it is, then I get her. What I don't get though is that she has the power to leave financially...she is a teacher and has an individual income. What she seems to bemoan is the fact that he will take his income with him if they divorce. A lot of women would wish for the flexibility of a stable career that would allow them the oppurtunity to start over on their own time frame and could care less if that start is in an apartment on a tight budget with no lavish vacations or rings, as long as they are out of the bad marriage. She really should be ashamed of the things she writes. She has the flexibility to leave, but doesn't want to the take the hit of losing the things she's grown accustomed to. That's really at the heart of it. I guess she has a choice to make then doesn't she? Sleep with the husband a couple times a week and keep all her pretty things, or give up the pretty things and have life on her own terms without having to compromise with a partner...wonder which she values more?
-
Folks, you should have life insurance at least 5X the bread-winner's gross salary. It can be a little expensive, but it is prudent.
-
Oh. My. God. Someone needs to screen cap that in the event we read about "the school teacher who's husband died mysteriously". Yikes.
We would be fine. Both of us have more than adequate coverage and we have run the different scenarios.

Echoing my own thoughts, there.
Well, she doesn't seem overly concerned about the non-financial aspects of suddenly becoming a widow, does she? What do you want to bet she's creepy and tacky enough, that even if Mr. Greenbriar dies of completely natural and innocent causes, she'll be on the DUmboard 1) gloating about celebrating her new freedom, or 2) playing the grieving devoted life partner to the hilt and sucking up on the attention?
-
I haven't seen her picture. Not sure I want to either.
Speaking of 14-year olds, Pamela Smart tried to get out of prison not too long ago. So did the kid (Billy Flynn?) who pulled the trigger. She was actually teaching at Winnacunnet HS, which is in Hampton near where I work.

Ahh, made famous by the Nicole Kidman movie.
I always remember how cold she was--the character anyway. Never read up on the real happenings.
-
Still a big story around here.
-
I thought it was just a made up Hollywood story until I found out later. Truth really is stranger than fiction!

That explains why that girl I dated in Nuclear Power School was such a psycho bitch.

61. Planning another cruise?
I had to put up with a very well off client BEGGING me not to charge my usual fees for alterations on a bunch of clothes she just bought, because "with the economy and all, we've already had to cancel a couple of cruises".
I made about eight grand that year and she was expecting ME to charge less out of pity for her lifestyle adjustments for the downturn in the economy at the time.
FACT: we survive. We may not love our financial situation, but we ****ing face reality and SURVIVE. There will ALWAYS be many with much less. Live within means and look for more simple, sustainable pursuits and diversions.
