The Beginning of True Adulthood*

I took a major step in my life this week.

I enrolled in supplemental life, accidental death/dismemberment, and supplemental disability insurances.

I’m now officially worth more dead than alive.

Fortunately, I’m working for an institution that offers domestic partner benefits and I’m able to cover UMB and list him as a beneficiary.

Not everyone has that ability, ya know. [insert plea for domestic partnership/gay marriage laws here]

I listed my parents as beneficiaries, as well.

So if I were to die in a car accident tomorrow, wearing my seatbelt (I always do), the payout would be nearly $750,000.

Anyone got a spare motion-sensitive camera I could borrow? I’d like to keep a close eye on my brake lines.

* I think you’re officially an adult when you start trying to plan the end stages of your life, retirement, disability, death… and those damn kids who keep kicking over the rocks in my yard.

I was trying to figure out when I’d feel like an adult and that makes sense.

When I started college, my parents took out a life insurance policy on me, just in case I happened to die while they took out their part of the loans for school. That was sobering at 17.

Now, if I die, my wife will be a millionaire. I just know she’s plotting my demise.

Robin - Glad I could help. I’m just a fount of shit like this?

hello - Crumb snatchers? Is that a euphemism for something?

Miss Britt - Hey, it costs me like $4 a month for $200,000 coverage. I’ll be a sucker for that.

Avitable - My folks had some ridiculous $2000 policy on me until I was 25. I just figured that was their replacement cost.

heather - Reattach the brake line, put down the wrench and back away slowly…
