Michael Jackson's mother files for monthly allowance adjustment, "can't make it on $26,000 a month"
Katherine Jackson: Who Can Live on $26K a Month?

9/23/2010 6:30 PM PDT by TMZ Staff

Katherine Jackson can't make it on a $26,000-a-month allowance ... so she's asking for more.



http://www.tmz.com/2010/09/23/katherine-jackson-michael-jackson-estate-allowance-probate-case-judge-order-katherine-jackson/

TMZ found a judge's order filed yesterday in the Michael Jackson Estate case, in which the judge notes, "Counsel will give notice of proposed action re: adjustment to family allowance for the benefit of Katherine Jackson."

TMZ has already reported Katherine pulls in a temp allowance of $26,804 a month.

The document does not say how much more Katherine wants, but it's pretty ironic since she's making a lot of money on the side.

3. If that's not enough, she must be living far beyond means
I find it hard to believe that she can't make it on 26k, which is an average of $900 a day.

4. So long as there's a possibility of more, some people will never be satisfied with what they have...

7. Fuck her and the population she represents.
Make her live on $26k a year. Make her rent a bedroom in somebody's basement and drive a 12-year-old Cavalier. Make her shop at Super Wal-Mart with a thick envelope of coupons. Make her eat Great Value brand food and wear off-the-rack clothing. Make her avoid going to the doctor or dentist because she doesn't have insurance, or because she's irrationally afraid that they'll find something expensive wrong.

The sense of entitlement of the wealthy is impressive.

9. DAMN IT, PEOPLE, HAVE YOU NO SHAME???
Can't you see she hasn't had a decent manicure in days? Her hair looks a shambles, and I don't know what is going on with those Salvation Army clothes. Do you really expect her to eat out less than 5 times a week? And at someplace OTHER THAN SPAGOS? When someone is starving, you're all "cry baby wah wah", but where's your precious compassion for this poor woman WHO MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO SELL ONE OF HER HOMES! Rumor has it she is behind on bills, and the country club doesn't pay for itself, and neither does the household staff. If someone else doesn't foot the bill, who will?

This persecution has got to stop.

11. Joe Jackson used the "eating out" defense once, if I remember correctly...
...it was while Michael was still alive. He was sniffing around for more money like a pig hunts truffles and said something along the lines of how he ate out frequently at five star restaurants and that "adds up."

10. I'm not surprised, since the majority of the Jackson offspring
are STILL sponging off of Michael's money instead of actually earning a living or at least living within their means. Same as it ever was.

14. 26000 a month is not enough
when you are taking care of most of the Jackson family and their offspring.

15. yep
Add Jermaine's six kids to the three that Michael left behind along with countless numbers of grandchildren.

I'm feeling a bit sorry for this 80 year old grandmother. How much can she realistically take on anyway? :(
