I don't think they explained it very well. But when Kevin and Lucy were
getting married it was implied that Kevin's mother had a lot of money.
I am just not sure where she got the money. I would suspect inheritance
as Kevin's father was not mentioned.

Maybe a family of crooked cops and firemen. 7H is too light of a drama
to pursue that road...

[Stewart Vernon]

I don't find it odd that Kevin has money... could be from
inheritance or any number of things.

What I do find odd... is that it doesn't come up on the show more
often of why he works as a police officer if he has way more money
in the bank somewhere than he makes in his job.

It *seems* as if neither his wife nor his family-in-law knows how
much money he actually has nor where it comes from.

That's what seems odd to me... seems like you'd share that info
with your family.

All we've ever seen on the show is that he's told Lucy he has more
than enough money that they will never have to worry about it...
or something to that effect. I don't recall ever hearing where
that money came from or how much.

Now I'm not nosy and don't care... but you'd think he would have
told his wife at least... and possibly her parents. Since they
keep being surprised at things like him buying that big house...
it sounds like maybe no one really knows how much he has.

Remember the episode where Kevin was chiding Lucy for not knowing
more about their finances? That indicates she probably doesn't
have a clue.

I answered that above. the fight was about her NOT RECORDING the checks. She'd
written several checks and hadn't entered them in the book.

...which indicates a general cluelessness about one's finances. I don't
balance my checkbook either, but then it is just me. I don't have to
answer to anyone else, nor share anyone else's income.

Right... which one could infer that since she isn't bothering to
balance the checkbook or even make entries when she writes
checks... that she doesn't have a clue as to how much money is in
there.

Unless she is of the school of people who say "I still have
checks left, I must still have money left."

Don't laugh, there are actually people who do this.

I know... I can't remember where I posted this, but on a related
note... there was an old woman visiting my grandmother once, and
she was calling home to talk to her daughter who was staying at
her place.

She would let the phone ring and ring and ring, like 20 times, and
get mad at her daughter for not answering... My grandmother
suggested, logically, that perhaps the daughter was not there.

The other woman replied... "I know she is there... it rings just
like that when I'm there!"

I suspect this woman may have shared the checks-in-the-checkbook
philosophy!

He isn't the first cop to do that. Nick Knight was very rich
on the show Forever Knight. (Granted being a vamprire since
1228 helped, Also Fontana on L&O:TMS is very rich.)

Maybe Kevin is a vampire... no, we've seen him outside during the

full moon?

True... but we the viewers don't know either :) In the scheme of
good writing... it is considered cheating for the writer to
withhold information important to the plot... but some writers do
it anyway, keeping stuff secret and pulling out surprise fixes in
the end.

Since we don't know where the money came from nor how much he
has... there is the opportunity for a lazy writer to pull out
almost any plotline by having Kevin pay for something... like
buying the house on the spot as a surprise gift. Who knows what
else he could buy to fix a given situation... and by "fix" I don't
mean anything wrong or crooked on his part... maybe he could
afford to buy the Camden's house too, like Chandler offered to do
for them last season...

Also... while I'm not wanting to bash Kevin... I remember him
saying he worked as a police officer because he wanted to, and not
because he needed to for the money... Now, that's one thing to do
when you are single... but married, now with a new baby, and
wanting to have lots of kids... IF we knew how rich he really was,
at what point would we start to think maybe he is being selfish
and risking a lot to work as a police, since he could get shot in
the line of duty and leave his family without a husband/father...
when he doesn't need to work that job.

Just a thought.

But one could ask the same thing about
the 600 who worked at Cantor Fitzgerald and
died at work at the WTC.

None of them probably thought there was any
chance of them dying that day.

True... but being a police officer on the beat like Kevin is (the
beat being what it is in the fictional Glen Oak of the show)...
stands a much better chance of being hurt (he dislocated a
shoulder and his partner was stabbed once already).

Not passing judgment here... but asking a reasonable question that
I think other friends and family would ask.

With so much money it seems he could afford to go to college and get a
better job than being a cop unless it is one of those "I just love this
job.."
situations.

Police overtime. Details.

People keep wondering where Kevin got his
money and why he works if he is so rich?

To keep busy. I know lots of people who are
very rich or have reached retirement age
who have decided to continue working to
keep busy.

I know people who are old, continue to
work, and are very healthy in the 60s/70s/80s.
On the other hand I know people who retired at
65 and were dead within a year.

So maybe Kevin wants to live into his 80s and
90s so he opts to work.

I would add i've known alot of people who died
in recent years. Yes Kevin could die in the
line of duty as a police officer. He could
also work at a less dangerous job and die
of a heart attack, get hit by a bus, or get
shot when a bank is robbed.

Also Kevin is cop to help people.

[Stephanie]

Kevin's money comes from his father's estate. His father was a fire fighter
and died in the line of duty, it is to be assumed that their was a lovely
insurance policy that paid off, as well as whatever money the department gives
to families of FF's that die in the line of duty.

I don't remember them talking about that in any of the shows. And how
much insurance money would a fireman'f family get if he died in the line
of duty?

They discussed it in the episode when Ben was talking about why he became a
fire fighter and why Kevin didn't. Since he was a FF in the city they have
good unions and the insurance money is good. I believe that there is kind
of the same program as with police. If my uncle would die in the line of
duty my Aunt would be taken care of for the rest of her life and not have to
work (if that is what she would want to do)

Maybe nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Locally a firemen died in a fire. The town voted on
whether to give the family a pesnion. It failed.

So this family got nothing from insurance, pension, etc.

If they didn't get money from insurance where did the money come from.
How much do you think that house cost. In California I bet that house
would cost a couple of million at least. Certainly any thing from
insurance would not cover that.

[Mr Ed]

Several years ago he mentioned to Lucy that he had lots of money. It was
during his proposal party when it was obvious that he spent a bundle on the
party. I'm not sure but I think he said he inherited it from his Father.

Life insurance in a policy that people pay into... depending on how much you
pay into depends on how much you get out. Take my parents for example... they
have ben living for a umber of years on very little money, as my father is on
disability and my mom takes care of him full time. God forbuid anything
happens to my dad anytime soon, but when something does my mom will have more
money than she will ever know what to do with, because my father has always
believed in good life insurance. He has paid into his policy quite heavily
over the years... so the pay off when something does happen will be quite
extroadanary.

We are the same way. We have life insurance that is high so if something
happens to anyone of us the serving one and our children will be taken care
of.
