"I completely agree with everything you just said there.. That financial storyline would just kill it seriously lol."

"Well finacial difficulties could be real considering a trip to costa rica probably isnt cheap and sara has been out of work for the last year and a half and grissom quit his job. and before you say that they are working in costa rica for money, they could just be having an extended vacation there. nobody said they were getting paid/staying for free. money is a necessity. btw grissom buys bugs and stuff and would do anything to solve a case so buying the software doesnt mean hes loaded remember Grissom said he moved to Vegas cuz he was broke."

"He came to Vegas, while in College, to make money to be able to buy dead people and animals for his cadavor farm or what ever it was called. I think he comes from money, dad's family made money in california oil back in the 30's, and Grissom inherited a major Trust Fund when he turned 21. My contribution to Fan Fic.

I just don't see Grissom not having a nest egg. He comes across like someone who know the value of a dollar and not to waste it, while still enjoying a few perc with his cash. He's worked for 30 years, taken minimal holidays, I remember him asking Sara how many weeks of vaction time she had (10 weeks) and she said something to the effect his was more like in years. I wonder do they get cash for overtime or is it time in lieu of. Just think of the amount of cash that CSI would owe both Grissom and Sara for the overtime that they put in. I understand that it would make them more human to give them money trouble but I just don't see it. They both work solidly since they finished University, they are not extravagent spender and from the personalities that they exude I think they are cautionous with cash and how they invested it. That's the Bank Employee in me speaking.

"To make this a real world situation, they could have health insurance difficulties!! Now that would be an excellent storyline--Grissom has a good retirement (30 years of investments, pension) but he's not 65, so no medicare. Sara--not nearly old enough for MC--and their coverage has run out. So she goes back to work for a while to get health coverage for what ever reason! Say until Grissom's new job starts and he has insurance that comes with his job! What a way to EDUCATE the masses about the need for insurance without all the hype from big pharm, politicians, etc."

" You guys do you know what I have noticed about this spoiler posted here is that the date of that spoiler, while all the other spoilers are from around june to agust, this spoiler (finacial difficulties for gsr) has a date of 4/8/09. If this person was to get this spoiler and it to say April the 8th of 2009 means that they got this spoiler before the 9th season was over. Which means it has been at least 3 to for months since. Meaning if this was from a reliable source then why are they just we just hearing about it 4 months later, secondly things could have been thought over and changed big time since.

"I have serious doubts that Grissom has financial difficulties. In the 8 1/2 years he was on the show Grissom never talked about money but he came accross as if he never had money issues. Example: he and Sara were discussing college textbooks, Sara made the comment about how the selling of textbooks back to the college was such a scam; Grissom state why would anyone sell their textbooks back to the college. Obviously he didn't need a scholorship to go to college. Or the time when all they had was a grainy Video of someone (Ernie Dell it turned out to be) delivering a package to a murder victims house. The lab didn't have the cash to buy the software that could clean up the video so that they could find out who the guy was. Grissom went out and bought it. I know there's a recession and all but Grissom seems to be a cool custmer when it comes to everything I think his 401K and private savings are alright.

Sara on the other hand might not have a massive nest egg but over the 7 1/2 years that we saw her she never came across as a person who wasted or threw around money. I always thought that she was the type of person the casinos hated never gambles, never parties hardy and never shops at the boutiques that charge you for just looking. So I think she might have saved most of her pay cheques. We also don't know what she might have inherited from her father; who knows maybe he was a millionaire record producer who never let his family know that he was loaded. (Nah not likely)

I think Sara's back to help her friends get back on track; she's good at what she does and will help out anytime she is asked. So will Grissom, a guy with that much experience would be in demand where ever he goes."
