Asia Carerra's husband dies in crash

Looks pretty bad.
Shes a very smart woman but lets face it. Its not going to help her out with a 1 year old and one on the way.

I've just donated my entire AEBN check to her.

I wont be asking everyone to send me cash so I can match the donation or any of that grandstanding bullshit. Ive always found it in poor taste when companies use anothers tragedy as a cheap marketing vehicle.

I can only hope others will do what they can.

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.
