wallmann 1 Report post Posted June 24, 2003 Benefits of Receiving a Lump-Sum Payment With the certainty of inflation and the strong potential for tax increases, a dollar is worth far more today than it will be in the future. Rather than receiving small, periodic payments, the fundam ental principles of finance demonstrate that a lump-sum payment, with proper handling and investing, can be significantly more valuable. Based on the history of our U.S. economy, a dollar paid to you in 10 years is worth only about 40% of what it is today. A lump-sum payment will grow in value. Taking the lump-sum payment option and investing wisely can yeild a far greater return than the original periodic payment amount. People may choose to receive a lump-sum payment for many reasons including: Purchasing a Home Starting a Business Paying Legal or Medical Bills Incurred During a Settlement Educational Expenses Financial Planning and Investing While a lump-sum payment may not be the right choice for everyone, it is certainly a viable financial option in most cases.

-Tony- 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2003 wallmann, I just had to reply to this. So, I guess you want to buy notes? Why? I heard, With the certainty of inflation and the strong potential for tax increases, a dollar is worth far more today than it will be in the future. Rather than receiving small, periodic payments, the fundam ental principles of finance demonstrate that a lump-sum payment, with proper handling and investing, can be significantly more valuable. So why would you want to do this? Just kidding, thought you might see the humor in it if you read your post from the other side of the fence. Good luck hope you make a million.
