JG Wentworth’s latest commercial feels like a wild kaleidoscope of instant gratification seekers. The ad agency’s effort to capture every demographic is almost too impressive.
There’s a cop, a Latina demanding “dinero ahora,” and of course, Mr. Wentworth himself, strapped into a taxi seatbelt for that extra irony. Talk about a metaphor that’s all dressed up with nowhere to go!
A structured settlement is a seat belt of sorts.
Seat belts are designed to keep you safe and not ejected through the windshield if there is a car accident. One way to look at a structured settlement might be as a seat belt of sorts, to prevent you from “getting ahead of yourself”, from being “ejected ” from a safe and secure financial plan.
People that go “strapless” may perceive more freedom of movement and may perceive a certain “aesthetic” benefit, yet there’s always the possibility of a financial “wardrobe malfunction” eh?
As we approach St. Patrick’s Day, should we not be saying “Erin Go BRA-gh”? (cue “homonym alert” and snickers)
“Bragh” of course means “to eternity”. A structured settlement can be designed to continue until the end of “your time”. Think about it! By all means give up meat for Lent, but don’t ditch your structured settlement for St. Patty’s Day.
