RIP Ex-personal finance teacher

[XR-7]

I want to hear some input on this.

Back when I was in personal finance, my teacher told us about her kids and their jobs. She has like..eight kids and three have jobs pretty sure. Anyway, she gave us the "game rules" so to speak.

10% of their earnings go to church as tithe offering (w/e, religious family no biggie)
10% of earnings go to their mom (?????)
10% of earnings go to father (?????????????????)

Basically, she said its their way of "contributing" to the family. Although I think the mindset is not a total loss, isn't it kind of a given that parents should pay to raise their kids? My personal finance teacher is literally the daughter of millionaire parents, so its not like the kids are paying to put food on the table.

Another thing that bothered me: the oldest daughter is trying to save for a car. On top of only getting 70% of total earnings, my teacher will not let her get a car unless it is a large sedan with good safety ratings big enough to hold her siblings. She also requires a down payment of $9000. Have fun saving...

The whole time she was telling the class this stuff was completely mind blowing from my point of view.

Just got word from my mom that my ex-personal finance teacher just died. Really sad to hear.  Apparently she just got back from England and died in her sleep from a fatal blood clot caused by jet lag.  On top of being a teacher, she was also the coach for a volleyball (my sister was almost on her volleyball team) and a basketball team.

Isn't it illegal for teachers to mention anything about their religion in school?

Not that I know of. They can't talk about which ones are right or anything. It wasn't in an established school either so no problem regardless.

Topic is changed as well as bumped for a completely unforeseen incident.

You don't get blood clots from jet lag...

Regardless, my condolences.

Sounded weird to me too, but that's what they're saying in the emails.

It was a clot regardless.

now i don't know a lot about air travel sickness, but i think you get blood clots from being idle in the same position for a really long period of time, that has nothing to do with jet lag

also, my condolences

I read as "ex-fiance is  teacher".

A blood clot is when blood cannot circulate properly through a certain part of the body (e.g. your arms, legs) because of coagulation/embolism. The danger of flying is 1) you are sitting for an extended period of time allowing blood to pool 2) you are going through a pressure change which alters your internals. When blood clots in places like your spinal cord, brain, or heart and then are released either naturally (which causes a large flow of blood) or by aneurysm which explodes the vessels (causing massive hemorrhaging) you are basically toast. If you can extract the blood clot via surgery, or attempt to free it in a safer location in the body like the legs the chances of survival increase.

Apparently she left a husband and at least six children who are all under adulthood.
