Individuals
and business sell income streams (future payment or Series
of payments—cash flow instruments) for three basic
reasons:
Access:
People
need or want access to their cash. Sometimes they have
a serious need to pay off credit cards, finance long-term
medical care, or to settle a divorce. Other times, they
simply have a desire to purchase a dream home, take a
vacation, buy a new car or boat, finance a wedding, or
start a business, for example. In some cases, people want
access to their cash just for peace of mind. They no longer
want to worry about liquidity issues, collection hassles,
or the financial strength of the person who owes the debt.
Interest or Yield:
People
will sell their income streams—even for less than
face value—because they know that with cash in hand
today, they can start earning interest or yield. Interest
or yield is what gives us the ability to invest money
this year and turn it into an even larger amount of money
next year.
Inflation:
Inflation
eats away at the future value or "buying power"
of money. You can buy more with a dollar today than you
will be able to five, ten, or twenty years from now. People
sell their income streams because they realize that over
time, the payments they receive will drop in real value.
Small
payments over a long period of time have less buying power
than a Lump Sum of cash today. TABR Financial Services

for you to realize your financial stability, flexibility,
