terrific layout , soso…
looking at this, it seems to me utterly improbable that Karen and Borce never fought, as Sarah would try and have the court believe.. Just the financial stuff alone is so hideous, so antagonistic to a peaceful life, so inimical to meaningful dialogue and ordinary communication.
Along with the ordinary stuff of marriage, family problems, sexual problems, children problems, attitudinal problems, all the usual stuff, there is this terrible circus of money and businesses , of friends taking one to court, over money, of creditors, of outlandish expenses and underneath it all the relentless crazed financial risk taking of Borce and his ridiculous money making schemes. Borce was scheming, scamming, defrauding, conning, right up until the moment he was arrested!... he was still at it!..
Murder didn't stop Borce and his fetish about being presented as a man of consequence, a businessman, which, I suppose, in downtown Tirana, might carry a lot of clout, … not so much clout on outer Avondale.
"For men, on the other hand, money translates into status. They’re prone to have their identities and sense of self-worth defined by their earning power and bank account.
Some men also believe they own all the money earned by the couple.
Ownership is also why many men may prefer to merge money into a single pool. When it’s pooled together, he can be the sole manager, and that means he has more control in deciding how it’s spent."
I was reading this article yesterday, it came up when I googled the old phrase 'he who controls the money has the power'.
I think that Borce was about to lose the control, if Karen was going to leave him and take her inheritance with her ... not buy in, yet again, to another of his failing schemes.
Who Controls the Purse Strings?
