How do I sell my rights to social security benefits? How can I buy someone else’s?

The business could be marketed as a “Social Security Advance” and charge a percentage.

    commoditization of a safety net negates its purpose. its gross to even consider privatizing.

    its bad enough insurance company profits exist only when human beings suffer. can we stop with the profiteering maybe a little?

      I like your message, but insurance companies actually profit when everything is going great. Insurance companies would like nothing more than for everyone to be perfect, and never need to file a claim.

        any for profit insurance only makes money by denying claims. they cant possibly cover all claims. its an inherent property of insurance and why its more like gambling than anything. the profit piece just means more money is siphoned away from the distributed responsibility.

        with health insurance that claim is a human suffering

    Become a sovereign citizen (or at least play one for your marketing material) and through the power of belief in bullshit, you can sell courses on trading social security benefits to credulous morons.

    You can get married and die first, after charging your spouse an appropriate amount based on the anticipated payout minus future discounting. Or die second, having made that kind of payout.

    The important thing is to negotiate hard with medical histories and historic rates of pay being brought as evidence. You’ll probably want to get lawyers involved.
