Selling payments is a growing trend
Did you know that every year there are between $50 billion and $100 billion of annuities, lottery payments and structured settlements that could be sold to the secondary market?
In 2003, a study by the American Council of Life Insurers found that one in four holders of annuities, lottery payments or structured settlements are afraid that they would be stuck with their annuity for the rest of their life.
Now, with information and reviews becoming more readily available every year, owners of annuities, lottery payments and structured settlements are beginning to realize that they don’t have to be stuck with their regular payments. The option of selling to the secondary market is becoming more recognized. The recipients of these payments are starting to realize that selling their payments can offer a wonderful opportunity to have more control over their finances, and use their money to make their goals and dreams come true.
