The other day, I overheard two gals discussing their financial woes. They were both college students, with what sounded like a few thousands of dollars in consumer debt. They were planning a quick escape. Mostly they were dreaming, discussing the easy way out.

They mentioned five scenarios which would launch them out of debt:

• Winning the lottery
• Getting a lawsuit settlement check
• Inheriting money
• A performance bonus at work

I added three more:

• Winning a halloween costume contest
• Insurance settlement
• Income tax return

If you are lucky, you don't have to depend on a lucky payout like this to get on top of your finances, but this list got me thinking, what other big, rare financial payouts are there?
