I have been looking forward to the first payment of my structured settlements. I was awarded two different structured settlements last year and they are both coming up for payments, in about two weeks. I have been having a really hard time finding a job since the economy took such a downturn and this money will really come in handy.

A friend of mine told me last week that I might be able to sell structured settlement payments that are owed to me in the future. She said that she heard of a neighbor of hers that did that. It might be something to consider, but I do not know who to contact to do it. If my friend could get me all the necessary information then I might look into it after I get my bills all squared away with the upcoming payments.

If I could buy a more reliable car and have my own apartment instead of sharing one with my sister, then I might be able to move closer to a better job and have the transportation to get there. The payments coming up soon, would not be enough to take care of those things but if I could sell structured settlement payments that are in the future, then I might be able to do it with that money.
