Paying Bills No one enjoys living with debt hanging over them. Regardless of where your debt comes from, owing hundreds or thousands of dollars brings stress and impedes the pursuit of happiness. In some of these situations, a lump sum of cash can knock out a significant portion of your debt and allow you to handle better the crisis you are facing. Paying Off Medical Bills Medical bills are one of the most unpredictable and unavoidable expenses a person may face. In fact, medical debt is the single most significant cause of personal bankruptcies in America. This kind of debt can come following dental work, minor surgery, car accidents and major emergencies. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Nerdwallet, one in five American adults struggles to pay medical bills, and 10 million adult Americans face medical bills they can’t pay each year despite having health insurance. Paying Off Credit Card Debt Credit-card debt is about as commonplace as owning a smartphone. Across the country, people struggle to pay monthly bills and juggle one to three credit balances while trying (often unsuccessfully) to pay off even one of the cards. Missed payments charges and late fees pile up. Credit card issuers increase interest rates and make the debt hole even more significant. According to a Bankrate survey, one in three adults ages 30 – 49 have more credit card debt than emergency savings. Shedding credit-card balances is one of the biggest reasons why people sell their structured settlement payments. It’s difficult to get out of a cycle of credit-card debt without some form of instant money, be it from winning the lottery or from inheriting from a deceased loved one or cashing an annuity. Paying Off Student Loans The price of higher education increases every year, forcing thousands of Americans to rely on student loans to some degree to afford school. Current estimates are that 40 million Americans carry some amount of student loan debt, which adds up to about $1.2 trillion. Some children who receive structured settlements may have funds allocated toward college expenses, but if tuition prices rise dramatically from the time of the court case to the time of attendance, the student may need to sell part of their settlement to avoid debt. You may also choose to sell part of your structured settlement to finance a college education if you were in a workplace accident and needed to learn a new trade after your injury prohibits you from working in your old one. Affording Your Divorce Divorce hurts; not only does it drain you emotionally, but it also deals both sides a financial blow. It’s common for both parties to feel like they got the short end of the economic stick. And then there are the added costs: legal fees, therapy, and child counseling costs. The reality is that annuity holders sometimes have to sell all or part of their future payments because they’re a shared asset. Other times, one side has to sell just to avoid going broke during or after a divorce. In most cases, it beats bankruptcy.
