The current monthly mortgage payment is $19,000 paid by Johnson. The family's other monthly expenses total at $21,000. Besides the aforementioned expenses, Johnson gives his parents (aged 75 and 68) $5,000 allowance monthly and his parents are not living with them. Catherine's father passed away few years ago.

Catherine's employer just provides basic medical insurance, but she has purchased a whole life insurance and the beneficiary is Johnson. The unsured amount is $2,000,000. Johnson and Catherine current have $600,000 in their bank account. Johnson also holds I-bonds and blue-chips stocks which valued around $100,000.
