Distracted driving is, of course, unsafe. But it also keeps you from some serious savings on your car insurance. Our DriverIQ program rewards you for having a steady hand behind the wheel and, unlike other providers, we won't increase your base premium or surcharge you for poor driving.

Like lots of decisions in life, you have options to consider. The same is true when choosing the right life insurance. So, if you don’t know where to start, we can help!

Here are some factors to consider when choosing between the different types of life insurance:
🟩 Length of coverage: Do you want a lifetime policy (permanent) or one that lasts for a set number of years (term)?

🟩 Cost of premiums: Are you looking for a low monthly payment (term) or can you swing a bit more (permanent)?

🟩 Option for cash value: Do you want your life insurance policy to build cash value over time (permanent)?

Need a little more help understanding the difference between term & permanent life insurance? Think of them this way:
🟩 Term life insurance is like renting: you’re covered for a set time and have the option to renew.
🟩 Permanent life insurance is like owning a home: as long as you pay your mortgage, it’s yours, and you can build equity over time

Let’s chat to discuss more about the different types of life insurance.

Whether you’re nearing retirement age or are several years off, Social Security questions will probably come up in your retirement planning. Questions like, “What age should I take Social Security?”

Here’s the thing: You’re allowed to take Social Security as early as age 62. But did you know that every year you delay, up to age 70, your benefit increases by 8%?

That’s a potential 64% increase in lifetime income. Imagine that!

Another question that may come up is “Will Social Security be around when I retire?”

While I don’t have a crystal ball to see into the future, as a COUNTRY Trust Bank®️ Financial Advisor, I'm here to guide you through your choices and help you make informed decisions as you as you plan for your retirement.

Let’s talk!

March 24, 2026, is National Agriculture Day or Ag Day. It’s a day to recognize agriculture’s contribution to our everyday lives and to thank America’s farmers and farm families for their tireless dedication.
