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! 🎵

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?
