21-year-old girl retired after multi-million compensation for an accident
"After many years of legal battles, the details of which I cannot disclose due to non-disclosure agreements, I agreed to an amount that will allow me to never worry about money again. Literally overnight, I had so much money that I could retire. I bought an annuity
- now two large insurance companies pay me a five-figure sum every month, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life," wrote a Reddit user with the nickname Iampiexo.
The girl clarified that the total amount of the payment was 10 million dollars, but thanks to the purchase of the annuity, she will receive much more. Currently, her monthly income is tens of thousands of dollars, but the program provides for an increase in payments when she turns 25 and 27. After that, the total amount of money received will be such that the girl will enter the top two percent of the highest-earning Americans.
"Due to my age and the severity of the injury, the compensation was so high. Walking becomes very painful after just 5-10 minutes, and there is no treatment for this. Unfortunately, I will never be able to walk normally again, given the current state of medicine. Right now, no amount of money can cure my injury. And, honestly, having lived with it for almost seven years, I have already adapted to it," the author said.
She added that she has no idea what she would like to do in life, given her complete financial security. She is considering the idea of establishing a non-profit charitable foundation and becoming a volunteer, and is also continuing to study at college and in various courses. However, in general, she is simply enjoying her youth.
