Selling annuities is a viable option for those looking for an immediate source of money for a particular financial need, be it an investment, a large purchase or even a debt payoff. Rather than have to go through the hassle of a new bank loan, many people choose to sell annuity payment either in its entirety or as a partial. It is a quick and easy way to receive a large sum of cash in the short term.

Annuities are regular monthly payments, usually tax-free, that one receives either through a personal or business investment or through a structured settlement as a result of an injury case. They are administered through insurance companies, and each month for a set period of time the person receives a certain amount of money.

Although it can be nice to receive a steady income month after month, there comes a time in many people’s lives where they need a larger sum of money in the short term. Others decide that they no longer want to wait for small payments to dribble in, or perhaps they are ready to retire. Whatever the case may be, selling annuities can yield the cash you need right now. There are professionals, called note buyers, who can purchase these annuities from you, giving you cash in hand in a matter of a couple of weeks.

Keep in mind that you can sell annuity payments as partials; i.e. if you have a $75,000 annuity but you only need $35,000 in cash right now, you can sell only $35,000 worth of monthly payments, and keep the remaining $40,000 worth coming in every month thereafter. You can also split the monthlies right down the middle, selling 1/2 and keeping 1/2. The note buyer will go over all of your options with you.

How much will you get when you’re selling annuities?

There’s no set amount, or set percentage…there are many factors that go into placing a value on your annuity, and a buyer will take all of them into account. Some of these include the balance remaining, the time left, any balloon payments due and the financial stability of the party making the payments (payor).

Because the purchaser is assuming the risk, it is never a 1:1 buyout. That is to say, if you have $50,000 left spread out over a number of months or years, you won’t receive $50,000. Why? For one, due to inflation, money today is worth more than money tomorrow. The money you are receiving each month is worth less with the passing of time.

Also, when you sell annuity payments the note buyer is assuming all of the risk; the payor could default at any point, inflation could soar, the economy could take a hit…all of things are taken into account. Obviously, the more secure your annuity, the more you can expect to get for it.

In any case, selling annuities always makes sense for two reasons:

1) you are receiving a guaranteed lump sum of money now, without having to wait for months or years;

2) you are no longer exposed to any financial risk…the peace of mind alone is invaluable.

So if you’re looking for a lump sum of money, you can sell annuity payment to a professional note buyer and usually receive a check in just a few weeks. Just make sure you find a qualified, experienced buyer who can offer you top dollar for your annuity.

One of the key to riches is to be financially literate. This was what the Rich Dad taught in Robert Kiyosaki’s book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”.

Does wealth then come automatically once you became financially literate?

Not necessarily and not certainly. Robert Kiyosaki believes that despite attaining a certain level of financial literacy, personal obstacles can prevent even the most financially literate from attaining their financial goal. These people will still continue to work a full time job, living from paycheck to paycheck instead of living a life which they dream of.

Robert Kiyosaki listed the top 6 personal obstacles to your financial success as
1. Fear
2. Cynicism
3. Laziness
4. Bad Habits
5. Arrogance
6. Disappointment

1. Fear
The main reason why 85% of the world struggle financially is fear - The fear of losing money. But fear is not the real issue here. The real issue is how you handle fear. Robert Kiyosaki explained.

Robert Kiyosaki understood from his Rich Dad that the primary difference between rich people and poor people is how they manage the fear of losing money. When suffering a loss in finance, some would just give up. Others will try to transform the loss into a win.

As John D. Rockfeller said, “I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.”
Winners are those who are inspired by failures. Losers are those defeated by failures. In short, the rich will still act in spite of fear.

Robert Kiyosaki commented that people are so afraid of losing money, they played it too safe and eventually do not attain their financial success. If they have some cash, most people would go out and bug big houses, big cars and other “ego” toys. Or they would go on long vacations, which they justified as they deserved it, rather than investing.

If not, they invest all their money in balanced portfolios - in CDs and low-yield bonds and mutual funds and a few individual stocks. Drive by fear, these are people playing not to lose. Most of us, fall into this category. We want to protect our capital. We are low risker takers. Of course, a balanced portfolio is definitely a lot better than no portfolio. It seeks safety through diversity. It is important to have a financial plan for security and comfort first.

However, if you have any desire to become wealthy, you need to focus and not diversify.
You must put a lot of eggs in a few baskets rather than putting a few eggs in many, as advocated by Robert Kiyosaki.

If you are frightened by the prospects of failure, then play it safe first. Continue to keep your day job until you have accumulated enough money resources to buy bonds and mutuals. Consult with your financial advisor or planner to see what your portfolio should be if needed and adjust accordingly as you goes along. You work at attaining your security and comfort first before working on attaining your financial goal. Your journey to your financial goal will be therefore be very much slower and take a very long time.

If the prospect of failure, however, inspired you to carry on fighting for your financial success, may be you should challenged yourself to change your financial habits.
As it says “No risk, no gain”. Higher return in investment is usually accompanied by higher risk level. If you want high return in investment, you need to face higher risk level. Do not play it safe anymore. You will need to increase your risk appetite and learn to taken on some calculated financial risks based on your financial literacy.

As Robert Kiyosaki puts it, “Increase your financial knowledge and then learn to take some calculated financial risks. The more financial education you have, the more you can manage and minimized the risk.”

Managed the risks well and the gain will follow, and you will be on the fast track towards your financial goal.

In the next few articles, I will carry on to describe the rest of the personal obstacles to your financial success as defined by Robert Kiyosaki.

Bernard Ng keeps a blog “Wisdom of the Rich Dad” at http://www.richdadwisdom.com, where he shares lessons learnt from Robert Kiyosaki’s ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’.

The lack of money is often not our problem, it is the way we spend it. Wealthy people tend to spend money on things that increase in value or provide them with a return on their investment. People who are not wealthy spend the bulk of their money on items that perish, depreciate or have no return on their investment. Even the family home, which is often the most expensive item that most people purchase, usually provides no return on their large capital outlay.

There is one main reason why people get themselves into financial difficulties. They simply spend more than they earn. The two ways of increasing wealth is to either increase our income, or decrease our expenditure.

Unfortunately, through increased exposure to advertising and access to products, we are constantly enticed into having more and more material possessions. The easiest way to resist this temptation is to establish a plan where we always save a little of our income and learn to control our debt. If we do this consistently and regularly, we will eventually form a habit - a good, lasting habit that will overcome our financial difficulties and lead us to financial freedom.

Money is there to provide security, satisfaction and joy in our lives, and we can have some of life’s little luxuries along the way. However, while we are learning to manage our finances, we need to control our spending and allocate our money according to our needs. Initially, this means we may have to eliminate wastage and extravagance, and identify the things we really need to lead happy, fulfilling lives. We need to remain conscious around our spending. We need to remind ourselves that every cent we spend - does count! Initially, this may mean we have to cut back a little, but it is only directed at wastage and extravagance.

I believe that extravagance and over-spending is just the other side of the ’scarcity’ coin. It is often the belief that there is not enough that leads us into buying too much. It requires a mature, practical approach, which is within all of us, to become great financial managers. A little planning, a little discipline and often a bit of ’self-talk’ are all that is required. It just takes a moment to stop and remind ourselves to think long-term, not short-term.

The trick to economising is actually quite simple. Before you part with your money, always ask, “Do I really need this?”, “Will I end up wasting this?”, “Is this an extravagance I can live without?” If you develop a little voice in your head every time you go shopping that asks you these three simple questions, and you listen to and obey the answers, you will automatically start to economise.

Economising is not about living frugally. It is not about being miserly and not sharing your money. It is not about penny pinching and living without the things you really need. Economising is simply about not wasting your money, not being extravagant and not buying things you cannot afford. Here are a few ideas to help resist the urge to spurge:

–Keep focusing on your long-term financial goals.

–Prepare a monthly actual-to-budget variance analysis of where you spent your money. This may seem tedious but it always works wonders. Initially we may have good intentions but as time progresses, temptation can take over. If we see how we fared with our spending each month, it pulls us back a little. If we don’t see it, we tend to forget and the overspending can easily get away from us.

–Carry a small card in your wallet detailing your budget for luxury items. When that is spent - stop, and wait until next month.

–Only buy what you need. Remember, wastage and extravagances are just the other side of the scarcity coin.

–Learn to nurture yourself in less expensive ways. A $30 massage may be better than that $200 new dress.

–Set up a separate savings account to reward yourself with the occasional luxury fantasy, maybe a weekend at some fabulous retreat. By putting away small amounts of your budget, you can save up for those sensational rewards rather than fritter it away on useless $5 or $10 items each week.

There is always the tendency to spend when we should be saving. The surplus money comes in and our automatic response is to go out and spurge. This is the very behaviour we need to address before we can become financial stable. We need to keep reminding ourselves of the one of the most important rules of money management: “Spend less than you earn”, and then - and only then - can we surge ahead along the path to financial freedom.

One of the greatest mistakes you can make in managing money is not knowing where your money is going. About 90% of people who come to see me do not know exactly how they spend their money. Some may have small notebooks where they scrawl their monthly accounts but when they start to put everything down on paper, they are always surprised, if not shocked, to see the real state of their finances.

As obvious as it seems, most people just do not know their finances. This is always the most difficult part of managing money because, invariably, this is often when they realise they are spending more than what they earn. Money matters simply scare people. They are terrified to know how out of control their finances are. Yet, this is precisely what needs to be done before you can start working on a solution.

Planning and goal setting are critical to your success if you want to become financially secure. The two key traits of people who do not achieve this are, firstly, they tend to spend all of the money they have and, secondly, they do not know what they spend their money on. The lack of planning and goal setting is the main culprit. This is often referred to as “spending unconsciously”.

Unconscious spending is more prevalent in our society than we realise. The reason why people spend without giving it much thought is they have no goals. Without goals, you live unconsciously from moment to moment, you never plan for the future, you spend all of your money, and as a result, you are unlikely to ever become wealthy.

All good businesses manage their operations by planning and budgeting. They have benchmarks that they budget to and compare their profit and loss results. Major expense items, such as salaries, rent or advertising, are calculated as a percentage of sales and operating performance is analysed according to these percentages. There is no reason why you should not manage your own finances in this way.

The glue that holds all successful business practices together is the master budget. It ties in all facets of the business - marketing, selling, financing, research and development, and personnel management. Without a good master budget that incorporates all activities of a business, an organisation will end up floundering. And a floundering business is rarely profitable.

The budget provides the cohesion between the differing objectives of diverse parts of the business and creates a unified goal for the total organisation to work towards. It enhances motivation, delegates responsibility and provides important feedback on the progress of individuals and the organisation as a whole. Not bad, for a simple system - budgeting - that we all thought someone installed to punish us for our mistakes.

Budgets are not punishment. They are important, useful tools that guide us to where we want to go. They allow us to plan for our future yet control our circumstances along the way. They are not meant to be exact, but rather flexible and accommodating. They should change when we change, yet still be resilient enough to prevent us from going off the rails. They point us in the right direction and correct us when we fail. Without a budget for our finances, we are trying to win the 100-yard dash blindfolded.

In fact, if you use the same principles and apply them to your own personal finances you are well on the way to achieving financial independence.

Whilst it is important to become relaxed and carefree with your financial matters, this does not mean careless. You become carefree with money when you know that it is not a scarce resource, you set your financial goals, you invest a little time on a regular basis to plan and review your finances, and you systemically set aside part of your earnings regularly to build your savings and investments for the future.

You are careless with money when you do not keep track of what you are spending and squander money on things that are wasteful, extravagant and not needed.

Money management is about building a strong financial foundation that cannot be shattered regardless of what you may be faced with in the future. Regrettably, strong foundations take a little time to build. For those who want the instant wins and instant cures, their impatience is often the cause of their turbulent finances. If you are tired of worrying about money, now is the time to change. Take a little time out and start to think about what you really want. Set up a plan, follow a budget and be prepared to give it time to allow your money to grow.

Stuck on Success

How do you define personal success? I ask this question a lot, and interestingly, the answer frequently incorporates the concept of financial freedom. When I dig a bit deeper, financial freedom translates into a wide variety of dreams.

Why is financial freedom so attractive? Perhaps it is because so many people limit their ability to turn dreams into reality because of their financial situation.

We all know people in jobs that no longer bring pleasure, but they stay because of their need to maintain a certain income level. How many business owners are treading water in stagnant markets because they are afraid to take steps to change the business until profits reach a certain level? If only they were financially free…

At what point is it ok to take a risk? How much is enough? Do what you love and the money will follow, is that wise advice? While the reasons that people avoid change are multifaceted, finances are often cited as the reason, so let’s explore the issue.

Strategic Financial Planning

If your financial situation is preventing you from moving forward, what would you do if you were in better financial shape? Assuming you can answer that question with a few clearly defined goals (and if you can’t that comes first), financial planning can help you take steps toward addressing fears and demystifying the unknown by systematically identifying the risks, and evaluating the alternatives.

Let’s take a look at each of the steps in a financial planning process:

Setting goals
Collecting all relevant data
Identifying barriers to achieving goals
Setting a timeframe within which to achieve goals
Developing methods and procedures to help achieve those goals
Periodically re-examining goals and modifying them as conditions change
Setting Goals

Although many people address financial issues as they arise such as a child entering college, a family member dies, or it is time to sell the business, financial planning requires you to anticipate the future by setting goals. Without goals you can’t get very far in the financial planning process, and without a financial plan you may be limited in achieving your goals.

Collecting Relevant Data

Comprehensive financial planning requires that a number of critical areas are evaluated at the same time. Looking at any area in isolation will only tell a partial story, and the best alternatives to any one issue are often missed. The standard areas are tax planning, investment management, cash management, budgeting, retirement planning, estate planning, and insurance. The analysis is adjusted according to specific needs and might also include education funding, charitable giving, and trust management. The picture that forms by looking at all of the pieces together is the starting point to creating optimal financial strategies and to making realistic, well-educated decisions.

Identifying Barriers to Achieving Goals

People’s attitudes towards money vary enormously. Our attitudes about money are often influenced by the values that have formed over time from our families and to a certain extent, by how much we have. Our unconscious attitudes play a big part in achieving financial success.

One of the basic tenants of financial and strategic planning67 is that we are in control over our own situations. We can move forward or continue to do what we have always done (often ignoring the whole situation). While that sounds easy enough, it is common to see people with goals who do nothing towards reaching them. If you struggle in this area, a financial coach can help you explore the attitudes that might be holding you back.

Setting a Timeframe to Achieve Goals

Effective goal setting requires establishing target dates for each goal Financial forecasting, which is described below, can help to develop realistic timeframes.

Developing Methods and Procedures to Achieve Goals

There are a variety of methods and tools that are useful in helping you reach your goal. A few important concepts used in financial planning are: forecasting, budgeting, portfolio diversification, market timing and dollar cost averaging

Forecasting - Revenue and expenditure forecasts are a central part of any financial plan. For an individual that might be their salary and living expenses. For a business forecasting includes income and expense projections. If you are thinking of starting a new business or project, before you start looking for financial backing you should be sure that the idea will produce sufficient profits to make the venture viable. Financial forecasts are an important part of planning and control.

Budgeting - Where are you spending your money? If you can’t answer that question very accurately, start by keeping track. When you know how much and where you are spending today you can then begin to see opportunities for improvement. Regular and sensible budgeting coupled with an ongoing process to compare actual results to plan can to highlight areas where costs require attention or a particular product or service line is in trouble. Establishing regular ‘budget reviews’ enables you to take corrective action before it becomes a crisis.

Portfolio Diversification - “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” When it comes to investing, if you put your money into a variety of investments with different return potentials and risk levels, you may be able to offset possible losses in one investment type with potential gains in another. As a result, diversifying often reduces overall risk exposure.

If you are running a business, revenue diversification can be achieved with a portfolio of products and services, or by working with companies in a variety of industries. A range of different revenue streams can offset risk and keep you afloat when one industry hits hard times, or one product becomes unpopular.

Market Timing - Nobody knows for sure which direction tomorrow’s markets will go. Instead of trying to guess, “dollar-cost averaging” can help you invest regular amounts at regular intervals, often resulting in a lower average cost. To make a “dollar-cost averaging” strategy work, you must be willing to continue investing through potentially nerve-wracking periods of low markets.

Periodically Re-examining Goals

Conditions change regularly over time. It is important to stay on top of any assumptions that may have changed since your last financial plan review.

If your definition of success includes the concept of financial freedom, don’t let your current financial situation turn you into a deer in the headlights! Define your goals, check your attitudes, do your homework, and move forward with a well-thought out plan. It’s your choice.

Look for the Source of Debt

You may be way over your head with unpaid bills and debt payments you just can’t catch up with. It might be just the right time to look for the source of all the trouble. It’s like looking for the source of bleeding and stopping it there. For some people it may be that credit card and the unplanned monthly purchases. For many, credit cards are a necessity, but if it’s causing you a lot of trouble, either forgo it altogether or keep it under lock and key for awhile.

Maxing Out on Debt Payment

When you’ve had an inventory on what debts you still owe, decide to just scrimp a little and maximize on your debt payments. There is nothing like trying to get rid of a terrible sore at the soonest possible time. If you have a little extra that’s not for your savings account, then allocate it for advanced payments on some debts. You’ll find that you’ll feel better psychologically if you’re done paying debts earlier.

Redefine Your Goals

The best key to turn debt to wealth is to look at yourself and change both your attitude and your goals. While you’re at it diligently paying for your debts, ask yourself what you want in life. Try asking too what it personally takes to get there. More than technical skill and knowledge, it takes confidence and discipline in yourself and the willingness to take risks. Build a new mental framework along these lines and proceed with redefining your goals. Tell yourself that you don’t want to die impoverished or without anything to leave your kids and grandchildren. Tell yourself that you want to retire early or
that even if your retiring at 60, you want to be able to provide well for your needs and wants at that age.

Start Saving and Investing

Of course, there is no other way to turn debt to wealth but to simply start saving and investing. Dabble with the stock exchange and try your hand at real estate and marketing. Aside from using your extra money to pay for debts, make sure that you allocate some of it for sound investments that will allow good quality passive income to come pouring in.

There can be a thousand other ways to turn debt to wealth but the real key is in you. Decide to take your life into your own hands and take action.
