About 87 cents...
Seriously though I have a hard time with the issue of a death benefit for families of slain soldiers. On one hand I think they should get a bundle but on the other hand I wonder how many nuts might join the military just to provide money to there family. I think the best bet would be to pay the money out like alimony based on time married and income adjusted for inflation during that time. FWIW accordiing to a SS document I got a few years back my life is worth about $300 death benefit to my family, not even 10% of what I contribute to SS per year. Personally I've got a lot of life insurance, I use it as a investment as well as security for my family in the event of my untimely demise. I've purchased enough to cover my expected income until my daughter is out of college. (about 18 years) On a similar note how many here have a will and funeral arrangements? I took care of that when my wife got pregnant even though my family tends to live well into old age.
