5 Tips on how to stay rich after selling your structured settlement, annuity payments or lottery winnings for lump sum payment
Selling a structured settlement, annuity payments or lottery winnings can certainly be daunting. No one knows what the next ten, twenty or thirty years may hold, thus it is a common belief that selling regular payments is like selling your safety net.
Despite this belief, receiving a lump sum of cash will not necessarily leave you high and dry, although you do need to be careful managing your newfound wealth. You might want to sell structured settlement payments, annuity payments or lottery winnings in exchange of a lump sum of cash, but this doesn’t mean you have to be scared of having your money run out before you’re ready.
How not to spend your entire lump sum of cash right away

With your new lump sum of cash, you should be able to afford to hire an accountant. This is a very worthy investment to get professional advice and avoid any unnecessary fines, settle any tax issues and establish a long term plan for your money.
Pay off all of your debt before your spend that lump sum of cash
Debt is not something that you want to deal with when you are no longer receiving steady payments from your previous structured settlement, annuity payments or lottery winnings. Make this a priority so you will know exactly how much spending money you actually have.
Keep your day job, or at least get a new one
As mentioned before; you never know what could happen over the next decade or three. It should always be a goal of yours to continue increasing your net worth, or at least not letting the number slip to something negative.

Note: Chances of receiving lottery winnings twice in life are even more slim than winning once. Protect your assets.

Financial considerations for after you sell a structured settlement, lottery winnings or annuity payments
Selling your structured settlement, lottery winnings or selling an annuity payment by no means automatically suggests that you are not financially planning for the future.
Yes, there are many pitfalls that one can fall into after selling a structured settlement, lottery winning or annuity payment, but these can easily be avoided just by keeping a few pointers in mind.
1) Sell up to the budget that’s needed
Take some time before you sell your structured settlement, lottery winnings or annuity payment to set up your own budget and identify how much lump sum money is needed. Sell only the portion of payments that’s needed to fulfill this budget. Most Structured settlement companies will allow you to sell a portion of payments and if you need more at a future date you can sell your remaining payments
2) Determine long term and short term financial goals
Just because you should budget does not mean that you shouldn’t take advantage of the large amount of money you just got by selling a structured settlement, lottery winnings or annuity payments. Go ahead and enjoy, buy a new gift for yourself. However, don’t buy a car or boat right away if that wasn’t in your budget. It is good practice to limit what you spend a large amount of money on right away so you can see what the rest of your new spending habits are like. You might realize that you just can’t help going out for a lot of fancy dinners. Take some time to slowly evaluate what you want to spend your money on.
3) Think outside the box about spending
Right now your financial responsibilities may be limited. Think also about your future. Don’t forget that down the road you may have other people in your family or close circle of friends that you might need to take care of financially. Before you start spending the money you just got, make sure you cover all your bases and try to anticipate all of the large expenses you’ll have to cover in the next five or twenty-five years.
Selling a structured settlement, lottery winnings or selling annuity payments can be a great and fiscally responsible thing to do, as long as you take all aspects of managing your finances into consideration.
