Asia Carerra's husband dies in crash

Yes, very sad. I've been spearding the word on the other forums. I sent what money I could. Seems to be alot of the "She should have saved, I'm not helping her out" sentiment out there which is even sadder.

That's terrible. I'll definitely send what I can. I can't possibly imagine. A lesson to all the people out there to have life insurance.. it's a $150 a month or so that could save your entire life if the worst happens.

Even less than that here in the states. I had a $350K policy I was paying less than $50 a month for.

Then there's really no reason why everyone shouldn't have one.. Especially ones with children.

I was watching a documentary on satellite this weekend (HBO or Showtime or something) about the legacy of Debbie Does Dallas - and realized that a lot of people don't realize that porn flicks do NOT pay residuals like they do in other entertainment businesses... it's typically a one-shot payment deal. On Asia's site it shows she did 250+ films in her time... we are all guilty of thinking that the money will keep flowing, that it will last forever. Spend it like you got it, always spending more than you make... pick your cliche... everyone has been guilty of thinking of today rather than tomorrow - living in the moment.

I feel sorry for her situation - to be that happy, in a place that she probably never thought she could achieve - a loving husband, a gorgeous baby girl and a son on the way.. to lose it all... it's heart breaking.

Sad...

But I'm perplexed about the financial stuff. She's smart, made good money, but no insurance? Nothing saved?

We've seen plenty of people snort, gamble and blow thru insane amounts of money and end up flat broke, but I really didn't figure her to be one.

No one has said that. As stated before, she could easily be in a panic mode. She needed a car ASAP. If she's not liquid, it could take a week or two to get money from selling stocks. Stocks are also low so it might make sense for her to go to her fans before she lost money by selling stocks. Some could be in 401Ks or IRAs where she'd lose money cashing them out.

And AGAIN, she didn't come to the boards with this. Duck Ford did. Asia posted this on her own personal website to her own personal fans. I can tell you her mind is spinning and she probably won't remember much of what she did this week or next for several months.

And we have our answer in her latest update on her site.... Online gambling...

Seems legit broke and no idea where the next paycheck is coming from. Lost half when the bubble burst, gambled away another half while distraught over her ex-boyfriend being deported and being alone, sunk what was left into downpayment for the house she's in now.

Husband ran the show financially and had nothing in the bank.

Intelligence doesn't win out over deep root psychological issues....
