Shame. Guilt. Desperation.
If I offed myself, life insurance wouldn't pay out. Savings wouldn't replace my earnings for long. I'd be abandoning my family, forcing my wife and kids to fend for themselves, basically forcing her to marry for money, and quickly. My kids would always have to live with the knowledge that I killed myself instead of being there for them.
The answer to this for some might be to just kill them all and spare them such an outlook.
- DoreenMichele 9y agolife insurance wouldn't pay out. New policies wouldn't pay. But established policies (usually over 2 years of age) may pay out in the event of a suicide. So that isn't a good justification.
- jstarfish 9y agoTrue. It's not something I'd want to leave to chance though-- it's someone else's money. When my ex's mother died of natural causes, her life insurance refused to pay out. She wasn't around to contest the matter. The choice became to write it off or fight a costly legal battle and recover a fraction of it.
