Surprise! Jamie Lee and Ross were stunned to find that their family of two has grown to a family of five! They were expecting twins, but when the babies were born, they discovered that they were actually the parents of triplets! Ross immediately had worries of being able to provide for the growing family: diapers, formula, college expenses times three! What if something happened to him or Jamie Lee? How would the surviving parent be able to provide for such a large family? Jamie Lee and Ross decided to purchase life insurance for Ross because his is the higher income at this time and because it would be more devastating if his income was lost due to his death. They have allowed $8,000.00 for funeral costs. Calculate their living expenses for 6 months to include all monthly expenses, excluding credit card debt and entertainment. Note that Rosss mother lives close and will be providing childcare to their triplets once Jamie Lee goes back to work at the bakery for half days. His mom will have a hired nanny to assist, which will cost them $1,200 a month. Use the table below to determine the amount Jamie Lee and Ross should use when shopping for life insurance. Each answer must have a value for the assignment to be complete. Enter "0" for any unused categories. Current Financial Situation Assets:
