I am currently “in talks” with a buyer of structured settlement annuity payments; someone that I am very hopeful can help me find a way out of my current financial nightmare. I am under water in terms of finances and I’m looking for anything that can help me find a way out of the darkness. I hadn’t even considered the choice to sell annuity payments because to be perfectly honest I didn’t know that this option even existed. I was happy to have the payments that came to me month after month from my structured settlement although the way that I came into the settlement was anything but happy. I was involved in a car accident several years ago; I was actually hit by a drunk driver and I was awarded money as a result. The recovery was terrible and I lost a lot of time at work. The money saved us. Rather than giving it to me all at once it was put into an annuity and I receive payments from the annuity every month. This money was instrumental in allowing me to recover but since I went back to work it has been a great source of extra income for my family.

Now that I’m out of a job - due to industry wide layoffs - I find myself again in need of money. The annuity payments are great but they are not enough to help me with the huge amount of debt that I’m carrying. Someone suggested that I sell annuity payments to a buyer of structured settlement annuity. I don’t sell the whole settlement; in my case I’m looking to sell a dozen payments (a year’s worth of monthly payments) in exchange for the money all at once. With this lump sum of money I can pay off my debt and get back on my feet the right way.

It’s so easy to feel out of control when it comes to your money; the slightest shift and you can find yourself up against a wall in terms of making monthly payments - even paying your mortgage. There are so many of us living check to check right now; watching every penny and anxious about any and all unexpected expenses that can arise. We know that our financial world is so perilous that just one thing can topple us into desperation; falling behind on bills and watching everything snowball out of control. When it’s time to take control of your finances and you have a structured settlement you can sell annuity payments to put things back in perspective and get behind the wheel of your money.

A structured settlement is a financial arrangement that is put together by the courts when money is awarded in a personal injury case. Essentially, rather than money being awarded all at once in a personal injury case the claimant is given payments on a regular basis - equal installments that are made from an annuity that is set up for this express purpose.

While many people will continue to want to receive their structured settlement payments there may come a time when they need a lump sum of money; a need to which they can turn to their structured settlement. The choice to sell annuity payments involves working with a buyer of structured settlement annuity payments that will buy a number of future annuity payments in exchange for a cumulative cash payment.

With the cash paid out for those payments sellers are able to take control of their finances by using their money in a way that they want to - pay bills, get caught up on a mortgage, take care of medical expenses, and much more.

In the last post I began to document the financial issues which I had found myself facing. I was already way over my head with debt and the bills kept piling up around me. Once I lost my job, however, I reached a whole new level of despair. Now I was trying to pay the mortgage on a home that I could no longer afford. I was desperate for help and when I finally made the decision to sell annuity payments I felt great relief in working with professionals who understood my situation.

I needed a plan and the buyer of structured settlement annuity with whom I worked was able to put that plan on paper for me. Finally I had some idea of where I was going and how I was going to get out of this current financial crisis. I chose to sell annuity payments that would net me the amount that I needed to pay off all my debt. With that monkey off my back I would be able to ease my cash flow enough to pay my mortgage while I looked for another job. The money from my structured settlement would change my future; there was no other way to put it.

My buyer of structured settlement annuity essentially traded me future payments for cash up front - cash that I can use to help me get back on my feet and out of this desperate situation.

I can’t say enough about my experience working with a buyer of structured settlement annuity. I finally feel in control of my finances and back in control of my life. When things get tough in life it’s always helpful to have a plan and now that I have one I feel confident that everything is going to work out okay.

When you feel like you’re out of options it can be more than a challenge to try to sit down and come up with a plan; to find a way out of something that you think is insurmountable. This was, however, the situation in which I found myself. I felt desperate; like there was no hope at all for getting out of my current financial circumstances. When you live way above your means you have to pay the price sometime and when I lost my job and all those credit card bills came due I had to face the reality of my situation. Plus I was living in a house that was barely affordable when I worked full time; now the mortgage payments were like a nightmare that visited me in my sleep every night. How was I going to find a way to get through this? And who could I turn to for support? For me, the answer came in the choice to sell annuity payments.

The structured settlement on which I relied for the monthly payments that can steadily to my home month after month was the result of an accident that I had. When the court awarded me money I was actually happy to have it delivered to me through a structured settlement; this way, when the payments came every month from the annuity it would be like income “gravy.” I did depend a lot on the structured settlement payments and now I was turning to them in a whole new way. To sell annuity payments meant that I could have the sum total of a number of payments at once. I was willing to trade in future payments for some peace of mind today and a buyer of structured settlement annuity could help me make my plan. More in the next post…

In the last post I talked about the choice that we had made to sell annuity payments. For us it was the only way to go. Here we were just trying to get through the month and pay our bills - let alone finance our day to day life - and we were still receiving the structured settlement annuity payments every month that had been awarded to us in an out of court settlement. While the equal installments that were sent to us to complete our settlement were helpful in paying our bills they were not enough to really do anything but continue to just keep us afloat. We decided to be more proactive in using our structured settlement by the decision to sell annuity payments.

When you sell annuity payments you are essentially trading your future payments in order to get cash now. It’s an effective tool that allows us to use our money in the way that we want to use it - to take control of our own finances - which is exactly what we decided to do. We made the choice to sell annuity payments so that we could this money more effectively.

The way that you accomplish this transaction is by working with a buyer of structured settlement annuity - a company that specializes in purchasing annuity payments in exchange for cash. You determine the number of payments that you want to sell - based on the amount of money that you would like in hand - and the buyer purchases the annuity payments for cash today. In exchange, the buyer then has the right to receive those payments when they are out paid out month to month.

We didn’t want to sell our entire structured settlement but we did want to make better use of our money. We chose to sell annuity payments and in doing so we are able to wipe out our debt and let the rest fall into place.

Facing financial insecurity tends to throw the rest of your life off balance; believe me, I know. I have been through tough times before but this past year was one during which I was completely and utterly focused on my finances. They were the only thing I could think about and I worried nonstop. Worst of all it just seemed to have a domino effect; one thing after another went wrong and it was all I could to hold myself together. I kept wondering when it was going to get better - when we were going to see the light at the end of our own personal tunnel. But nothing seemed to change on its own and I knew it was up to us to make the changes that were necessary; which is when we decided to sell annuity payments.

For us, the choice to sell annuity payments was the best decision we could make for our financial situation. There we were struggling to pay our most basic of bills and yet we had this payment coming to us each and every month. There was obviously a better way that we could use this extra money.

The money itself was in an annuity - the result of an out of court settlement in which we were given a financial award. According to the terms of the settlement we received equal monthly installments - payments sent to us from the annuity. What we found through our research was that we could use these payments in other ways to accrue money - if we chose to sell annuity payments we could essentially trade in some of our future payments in exchange for cash.

This is the route we decided to take in helping us to finally take control of our finances; our choice to sell annuity payments would out being the best thing we could have done. More to come in the next post…

Savings accounts are not anything to be taken for granted - especially right now. There are those who have counted on their investments as savings; but the current economic conditions have obliterated many investment accounts, and along with them the safety net of so many American families. We did not have our savings in investments; instead we had money put away in a traditional savings account. Unfortunately we have had to dip into our savings far too often than we would have liked to do over the last year. We were not unlike many of our friends who were finding it difficult to deal with the economy and the changes that it produced for our day to day life. Our savings account seemed to be the only option we had to save ourselves when my husband lost his job. But we had another option in the choice to sell annuity payments.

The decision to sell annuity payments was easy for us because it meant the protection of our savings account that we had worked so hard to put in place. The annuity payments that we were getting, however, were essentially “extra” money that we had used for paying bills and living expenses every month. They were payments that came from a structured settlement - a financial arrangement made by the courts in a personal injury case. It was easy to make the decision to trade a number of future payments for the opportunity to protect our savings.

The appropriate buyer of structured settlement annuity was the ticket to getting us out of trouble. The buyer that we found purchased the number of annuity payments that we had up for sale. We forfeited the right to receive those payments when they come due (the buyer now has that right); however we get the combined cash for those payments to save our home and protect our savings.

In the last post I talked about the past year and how we had found ourselves in very different circumstances than we had been expecting. This was the age of retirement and that’s what we expected to be doing, considering that we had always done the right thing by putting money in retirement investments. The economy, however, had other ideas and before we could even blow out the candles on our retirement cake we were looking for jobs again; our savings had been depleted and we were now dependent on finding another source of income.

The downsizing of our home helped for sure, as did the monthly payments that we got from a structured settlement we had received as a result of an accident in which we had been involved. The payments were great but we soon decided that we could do much better with that money if we had a number of payments given to us as a lump sum. With that kind of money we could pay off our debt and live comfortably without the stress under which we had been struggling. Our decision to sell annuity payments would allow us to trade future payments for cash up front and a buyer of structured settlement annuity could help us do that. We found a buyer - a reputable purchasing company - that could help us make sense of the transaction. He helped us determine how many payments we needed to sell so we could have the money we needed to pay off our debt. We didn’t sell our entire structured settlement - only a certain number of payments.

The buyer of structured settlements that we worked with gave us the peace of mind that we needed to know we were doing the right thing and that we were not forfeiting the entirety of our structured settlement in exchange for instant gratification. We were doing right by ourselves now - when we needed it most - and helping to put ourselves in a much better financial position. We were also holding on to our structured settlement for the long term so that when the payments kicked back in again they would supply us with a steady - and certainly helpful - income stream.

I have had to make some tough decisions over the last twelve months. We had been set to retire when the economy had crashed and in the blink of an eye all of our investments were depleted. Not unlike many people our age we found ourselves forced out of retirement and having to go back into the work world. We looked for anything and everything we could find to give us a steady income; something we just never thought in a million years we would need right now. Yet here we are doing what we can to survive financially when we had anticipated having time to travel and live life - if not lavishly - at least comfortably. We sold our home at far less than the market value and moved into a condominium to reduce our living expenses. However we also wanted to pay off any outstanding debt and live as liquid a life as possible. So we decided to sell annuity payments.

When you sell annuity payments you trade a particular number of future payments for their cash value today. The annuity payments that we were getting month to month were from a structured settlement that had been set up for us three years ago. We had gotten into an accident and were subsequently awarded money in the out of court settlement in the personal injury case. The money was distributed in equal installments instead of all at once. When you choose to sell annuity payments, however, you are forfeiting your right to receive the payments that you sell in exchange for cash up front. We decided that we were far more in need of a number of combined payments then waiting for them to come singularly down the road. So we set out to find a buyer of structured settlement annuity.
