Money: Benefits

Benefits

By Fitz - 05/05/2009 12:22 - United States

Today, I overheard my mother and sister talking so I stopped to eavesdrop. I recently enlisted in the Marines, and they were talking about what they would do with the money if I died. FML

Today, I told my parents I was thinking about joining the army. They looked at each other and laughed for about 10 minutes straight. I wasn't joking. FML

Today, my mom came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I didn't hear it and assumed it was a joke, so I started laughing. Turns out my aunt died. FML

Today, while chatting with my in-laws, I told them about my upcoming spinal surgery. Soon after, when I went to get us some drinks, I overheard them murmuring about how many surgeries I've already had, how I'm a drain on the healthcare system, and how I should ideally just die. FML

Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML

Today, at the airport, my mom began talking about how useless the war in Iraq was, and how dumb the soldiers that serve there were for enlisting during the war. The soldier at the vending machine near us caught my eye. I mouthed, "Sorry" and he mouthed, slowly, "You fuckin' better be." FML

That kinda sucks, but mostly YDI for enlisting in the Marines. Don't forget to leave a suicide note when you leave..

YDI for eavesdropping. So, what ARE they going to do with the money?

it pays to have a sense of humor. haha.. maybe your family does? : ) Death is a hard thing to deal with and I bet they brought up the money because people in the military are in harms way.. so they probably were thinking of the bright side if you did die lol.. it makes sense xD..

Wow, whoever voted "you deserved that one" needs to be bashed in the face with a hammer. He's a United States Marine. He's an American hero. Under no circumstances does he deserve to be surrounded with lowlifes who treat him like that.

it does somewhat depend on how they were discussing it. but for clarification on how much it would be, it is 100k immediately to family for expenses to bury and such, than 400k after a bit of time. Depending on the cause of death though, some ways your family gets nothing. Me myself being a marine as well, would say not to have them as the recipients of anything that you have coming, be it investments or benefits.
