Making Backwards Choices on your Structured Settlement

I read this week about a lady who lost 180 lbs in ten months by eating backwards. She had breakfast for dinner and dinner for breakfast. The article didn't say what she did for lunch! She lost the weight without having to rely on a typical diet plan. Her result, losing 180lbs, has lasted nine years. It's not so much the weight loss that grabbed my attention, but the fact that she took responsibility for making a change in her life.

This now size 2 woman didn't just go on a run of the mill diet, she committed to making a lifestyle change. Diet is an inaccurate and bad term. It represents a temporary nutritional change that requires sacrifice and results that are often unsatisfactory and short lived. She made up her own solution, and that's why it worked for her. Copying someone else's ideas is rarely effective. We are more likely to be successful when it is our own plan.

What are your plans and goals? What do you want to change? If you have been craving something new, different, better, but find yourself mired in the same spot you started in, maybe you would consider making some backwards choices? Identify a few areas in your life you expect something greater that what is right now.

One of the most important places to make changes in your life is in the area of your finances. Are you paying yourself first? Preparing for your future? Spending within your means? Our typical mindset is to spend what we have, or more likely, spend more than we have through loans and credit cards. We live paycheck to paycheck because that is the choice we have made.

I encourage us to make some new choices. Take responsibility for where we are, and decide where we want to be. Then all it takes is a plan, a few backwards choices, and watch how quickly we find ourselves in a new and better place.

If you are a structured settlement recipient, you can make some backwards choices by cashing out your annuity. Instead of waiting for the settlement to pay out over a period of time you can get the money you want and need quicker. Consider carefully any financial choices you make and seek advice from an expert. If you want the best you have to seek it out and ask for it. Whether you are trying to lose weight, or regain control of your finances, sometimes making backwards choices can get you going in the right direction.
