• After seeing John Oliver’s latest episode, I can only add one thing to this topic:

    🎵 I HAVE A STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT AND I NEED CASH NOW! 🎵

    (apparently shit like JG Wentworth is basically a scam preying on people with literal brain damage)

      I assume you sign over your monthly payments in exchange for a lump sum which is nowhere near what you would get over time, minus a bunch of fees. And then eventually you become poor and homeless because you didn’t manage your money appropriately.

      Is it something other than that?
