BellaOnline Forums Career Business Coach info on structured settlements?

I need more informations about "Structured Settlements". Ive just got a payout and I need to talk to some

one about structured settlements. Ive heard that you can get more money by selling your one off payment for

tiered payment system which will ensure that you have money for the long run. I found a few articles online but these only seemed to confuse me. Any ideas?

I suggest you contact a certified financial planner. This person can look at your financial situation and your needs and determine what financial structure is best for your own goals and objectives.

I haven't done any research on structured settlements, and am not a financial planner, but it seems to me that you can set up your own annuity plan or something where you earn the interest on your money, not someone else.

Good Luck & be careful--unfortunately there are a lot of scam artists out there. Do your research and check references, google, Better Business Bureau and so on before you sign over your money to anyone. Here are some good articles and tips from the CFP site: http://www.cfp.net/learn/library.asp
