Hey Capstern, I could use some money. It's only be $100 a month for say, 6 months. I can you hook me up with that? Just cancel the life insurance - sycor Sep 13, 09:36 20
- Beryllium hit the nail on the head with "motive". Cancel the insurance. If something happens to her in the near after recently divorcing, guess - CrankYanker Sep 13, 09:45 6
  - I never thought of that way. Just was thinking if she did something dumb my debt issues - Capstern (41 Days) Sep 13, 09:50 5

- Well what are you offering in exchange :) - Capstern (41 Days) Sep 13, 09:41 11
  - I'd keep yours. If you try to get that much again you will end up paying more. And hopefully you will find someone eventually to be your beneficiary. - sycor Sep 13, 09:51 10
    - That is true. I got it like 8 years ago and I should never need a phsyical again unless I try to change it. - Capstern (41 Days) Sep 13, 09:53 9

        It is subsidized but I think my extra 750K at work is like 66 a month or something like that - have to look but I know its more than 60 -- nm - Capstern (41 Days) Sep 13, 09:55 4

        Well with what I am reading no reason to NOT cancel the work insurance but keep the cheaper private insurance -- nm - Capstern (41 Days) Sep 13, 10:06
