How to have your Dream Fantasy

 We have all dreamed of winning the Lottery or having an unexpected cash windfall. What would you do if you won the Lottery or received a large court settlement that gave you monthly, weekly or annual payments? Would you run around saying, “I won a Jackpot, I am rich, I am going to buy a Mansion and a Yacht!” Would you only tell those very close to you that you are now rich? Would you buy a new house, new car, start a business, go back to school? Would you worry that the payments you are receiving are too small and you could not make ends meet? Will your friends and family be the same? Will you change?

In my experience, it is best that when you get a large sum of money, you tell no one! I have heard from many of our customers who have structured settlements, lottery prizes, or jackpots, that they did not change but the people around them did. Jealousy, resentment, and envy abound. People get so crazy around money.

So how do you have your dream fantasy? Be quiet about your good fortune. Take care to be responsible with new found wealth. Get expert advice. Treat yourself to some of the better things in life, yet know there is an end to your payments or lump sum. So simply, all you need to do is plan, plan, plan.

Now what would you do with a lottery prize or settlement?
