Today was the perfect end to my week of musings on the weather. It was sunny and hardly even cold, very pleasant. I tried to be outside as much as possible today. Little baby was feeling fine, so we played in the sunshine in the yard in the morning and went on an epic walk in the afternoon. The dog was put out in the backyard and the baby was situated in the stroller with toys and snacks. We were off!

In about a mile, maybe a mile and a half, we reached the park. It was alive with the buzz and shrieks of children. We found the baby swing and added our own set of delighted squeals to the mix. After the swing, we checked out the baby slide, then back to the swing. It was great to see so many kids and moms. We ate a small snack then headed off around the park. On the way home, we took a detour and stopped by the local coffee shop for another break, snack, and caffeine injection. Finally, we headed home.

In all, we were gone two and half hours and walked at least 3 miles. I always brag that our neighborhood is wonderfully walkable and that’s part of why I love it. It’s nice when I have the opportunity to take advantage of this resource. Speaking of resource, what resources do you have that you are neglecting? If you have a structured settlement, do you know you get cash for structured settlement payments? A buyer of structured settlement payments can help you through the process.

Since I’ve been writing about the weather this week, I’ll continue on that theme today. The ground was still soaked and spongy from the rain with big swaths of mud in the yard and lapping over the sidewalk in places. I gathered up the baby and dog and headed out for an extended walk to coincide with naptime.

It was sunny and bright and brisk but not too breezy. It would have been perfect, except… we were on this walk to escape a problem. Darling baby had been vomiting since early in the morning. I spoke with the doctor and everything is fine; it’s just a stomach virus. But a day’s worth of vomit and worry were taking their toll. A relaxing long walk to lull her to sleep and re-energize myself was just what I needed. I came prepared with a hand towel just in case, but I was hoping she would be so exhausted she would just sleep, which she did. I was relieved.

She woke up just as we were approaching the house after an hour-long walk. So while it may have looked like we were happily on a walk on a beautiful day, I was actually carrying close my sick baby and watching her sleep. Looks can be deceiving. Do you feel like other people think you have it all figured out, while inside you are struggling to make ends meet? There are things you can do, such as sell annuity payments. A buyer of structured settlement annuities can help you find the solution and move towards a better day.

I bundled up baby and me for the misty rain that never stopped today and headed out of the house. On the way to our destination we passed soccer fields submerged in water, trees standing in deep water, and a general grayness all over. It was on the way back, taking a different route that I saw the real flooding.

We passed by a bridge project under construction and saw the nose of a flat bed truck peeking above the water and construction cranes half under. The scope of the flooding was shocking. The small tributary was engorged and had taken over all the woods, roads, and trails around it.

Clearly, those working on the bridge were not prepared for flooding on this scale. The massive amount of water we received in such a short period of time overwhelmed the available space and resources. If this was your house, would you be prepared? We all like to think that bad things will never happen to us. It happens to other people. What if you are one of those other people? What would you do?

If you needed cash now, would you think to look into cash for structured settlement payments? A structured settlement buyer can help you through those unexpected rainy days. You’ll be ready for sunny days again in no time.

The rain started this afternoon. I saw video of people caught in the downpour further north and a quick flash of the Doppler radar as I walked past the television. The screen was alive with bright colors — red, pink, yellow and orange danced across a solid green field. I headed out anyway; it would only take a few moments to make it back home. In the parking lot there were still only light sprinkles. By home, the drops were big and wet, but I made it inside still mostly dry.

Now, I can hear the full messy rainstorm slapping the side of the house, dripping off the drain pipe, and rumbling in the distance. Standing on our front porch you can see rain in three directions and pretend that you are in it. The rain falls like a curtain wrapped around the house. The thunder just rumbled grumbled loudly, setting off a car alarm briefly.

It feels good to be inside, dry, and safe. Sometimes we need a reminder of how good a heated room, cup of cocoa, and soft blanket can feel. In these moments of insecurity, we are reminded what security feels like. How are you feeling these days? Are you rattled by your mortgage, debt, or ambitions you cannot reach? What if you’ve had the ability to feel safe this entire time? What do you know about how to sell annuity payments? Talk to a buyer of structured settlement payments to find out more. It’s okay to feel safe again.

Why would someone or some institution want to be a buyer of structured settlement annuity? If an investor buys a structured annuity, paying the person one lump sum, they are in turn assured a steady stream of monthly income and will turn around and reinvest the funds to yield a better return on their investment. Most often a buyer of structured settlement annuity will often help out someone needing a one lump sum settlement payment. The person who will sell structured settlements must make sure that the person they are selling to is financially stable. Most of these structured settlements go through a life insurance company for a good many years, so the company or buyer will be able to count on a steady income for years. They are able to reinvest the income and make more money then they originally gave to the seller. Any person buying the structured settlement annuity, whether it is a private individual or a financial institution is aware of the fact that the money they paid out will not be returned in its entirety until the end of the settlement.

The way that this works is that the buyer of structured settlement annuity will set a buying price to the seller. The buyer gives cash for structured settlement, helping the person out of a financial bind. The buyer must calculate how much money the seller is going to receive total, then has the right to determine how much money they want to make and will subtract that amount from the lump sum the seller is going to get. For example, if the seller is going to receive $1,000 the buyer may offer the seller $800.00 in a lump sum. The buyer will, in the end realize a $200.00 profit. The person selling the settlement may need the cash immediately and will not mind taking a lesser amount, in order to take care of pressing financial need. In the end everyone is a winner. The seller gets their money immediately, and the buyer is assured ongoing monthly settlement payment for generally years.

So far, the weather this January has included sunny warm days, frigid nights, windy blustery afternoons, and everything in between. What we have not had, however, is a consistently cold month. It seems that every day brings a completely different climate. Sometimes cold, mild, or even hot.

Today, we spent the morning outside enjoying the balmy weather. Later this week we may bundle up and have to locate gloves and hats. The weather seems as changeable and unpredictable as ever, from shorts to sweaters and back again.

If this kind of yo-yo-ing reminds you of your monthly bank account, maybe it’s time to find some stability. While I appreciate the variety in my weekly weather forecast, I need some solid numbers when it comes to planning my monetary future. Maybe it’s time to find out more about how to sell my annuity? I could get cash for structured settlements now. That’s one forecast I can count on.

Mary is a 35 years old mother of two young girls. She has grown tired of her dead end receptionist job and wants more out of life. She wants to move up in the company to provide a better life for her family and to be a shining example to her daughters. Yet, she knows they only hire college grads for all other positions higher that hers. Mary looked into several of those adult education schools where you can continue to work and take classes. However, even with the loans and grants they help you get it was just too much out of her budget. Just as she was about to give up a co-worker tell her how to get cash for structured settlement disbursements.

Mary found out that she can sell structured settlements for the cash she needs to go back to college. So that is exactly what she did. She got the school loans and grants, sold her annuity payments to a buyer and enrolled into college. Mary finally feels like the shining example to her girls and is getting the education she needs to advance in her company. In fact, she has a standing offer for an office manager position once she graduates.

She is so thankful to her co-worker for telling her how easy was to sell annuity payments. The settlement Mary had was large enough to where she only needed to sell a portion of the payments to a reputable buyer to cover the additional schooling expenses outside the school loans and grants. Mary is on her way to a bright future thanks to the hassle-free cash she received from selling her structured settlement payments.

Fast-forward a few years down the road. Mary is well into her Office Manager position and she now supervises the receptionists, among others. Her life no longer feels stagnant since she graduated college with a degree; plus her daughters couldn’t be more proud of their mother if they tried.

It’s Friday! That’s not subjective (a joke from my last post!). Here’s one last post to wrap up my thoughts on time and money. We all know more than a few sayings about these two things. Here are a few of my favorite truisms on this topic.

1. “Time is money.” Benjamin Franklin

2. “Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.” Margaret Bonnano

3. “Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

4. “Time is a waste of money.” Oscar Wilde

5. “Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.” John Rohn

You’ve probably heard most of these before. I threw in the Oscar Wilde quote for fun; so typically Wildian. What would you do if out of time and in need of money, now? Did you know you can sell structured settlements and get cash now instead of receiving your money over time? It’s like having your own time machine—and money machine. Talk to a buyer of structured settlement annuities about your options, today.

I didn’t mean for this to be a series, but I keep thinking of more I’d like to share. While we think of time and money as always being scarce—not ever enough—in actuality, they are each an endlessly abundant resource. How could that be? Let’s look at time first.

1. We have time, when we make time. If something is truly a priority, you find the time. Maybe you do with a little less sleep or forgo other opportunities, it’s amazing how you can squeeze time and find more.

2. There will always be more. Time stretches out in front of us in seemingly limitless supply. While no one will live forever, we depend on our ability to plan for the future, including how to spend our time.

3. Our perception of time is in flux. We may perceive things as being fast or slow depending on our satisfaction with the environment and activity. How we gauge time internally is not a constant, therefore, it is expanding and contracting based on subjective criteria, i.e. attitude and engagement.

How do these observations about time relate to money? I’d say all three apply: you can always find the money or make more when you really want it, the supply is unlimited, and our perception is subjective depending on our situation.

If you find your self in need of cash now and out of time, you should talk to a structured settlement buyer about how to get cash for structured settlement payments.

In the last post, I was writing about two precious resources: money and time. Let’s take a closer look. Why do we consider those two things to be increasingly scarce?

1. If Only… Looking at that mountain of paperwork in the corner, it’s easy to moan, “if only I had enough time to take care of it!” Or perhaps, you might say, “if only I had the money to buy a set of filing cabinets.” Sometimes, money and time are only excuses for things we’d rather not do in the first place.

2. Overburdened. Did you really schedule two meetings across town from each other back to back? Why is it that all of your monthly bills hit within a week of each other leaving you feeling broke for the rest of the month? We take on more than we can handle and just assume that we’ll adjust or figure it out.

3. Reallocation. Sometimes we don’t realize what we have and consequently don’t allocate the resources in the most responsible way. I’m all for relaxing and spending your money the way you choose, but it might make you feel better if during the holiday break you tackle one corner of your office or one project you’ve been putting off. Or, skip one more round of presents and spend the money on something that you’ve been needing for awhile.

Have you thought about the option to sell annuity payments? You can get cash for structured settlements. How would that change your money and time issues?
