Life insurance is a vital part of protecting your financial future and it will never be more affordable than it is today.

So, how affordable is life insurance, really?
The truth is, it depends on many factors, like age, health, lifestyle, coverage amount, etc. The good news is that even though the factors influencing your rate may feel extensive, getting life insurance is easier than ever. Life insurance companies use advanced underwriting methods to make the process easy for you.

How can I lower my life insurance cost?
There are a variety of life insurance options that can fit your needs and budget. But if you want to try to lower your rate, these steps may help:
✅ Purchase a policy at the youngest age possible. Parents may consider purchasing a policy for children as their premiums are typically much lower than an adult’s.
✅ Live a healthy lifestyle. Individuals who live healthy lifestyles generally have lower premiums than those who don’t, as they tend to live longer and have a better quality of life.
✅ Review your insurance options. Term life insurance is typically less expensive than whole life insurance, since you are only paying for it for a certain amount of time.

Every small business has its own unique personality, which is why you need custom insurance to protect all you have worked to achieve. Do you have the right protection for yours? Here’s what you should ask yourself.

• When was the last time you reviewed your policy with your current insurance carrier?
• If your business was destroyed, would your current insurance be enough to replace all your property, including your inventory?
• Will your current liability limits protect your assets in a lawsuit?
• How are your customers protected against credit card fraud?
• Do you have coverage that protects your customers' property when it's in your care?
• Do your subcontractors have certificates of insurance listing you as an additional insured?
• When was the last time you took a tool and materials inventory? Do you have proper coverage for those items?
• Do you need to protect your business for electronic data breaches?

We handle insurance and financial services for over 45,000 small businesses, and we’ve filled plenty of coverage gaps that help owners get back to doing what they do best – running their business.

If you bought your home when interest rates were higher, you’re probably wondering about refinancing for a lower interest rate. But when is the right time to refinance? With the mortgage rates making their way down, most experts advise refinancing if you can lower your interest rate by 1%.

But WAIT! Before you take that step, consider how long you'll live in the home and whether the rates are projected to continue to drop. You might not feel confident in knowing if or when you should refinance, and that’s OK. That’s why I’m here!

Let's schedule a time to talk, and I can help you think through your refinance strategies for your home mortgage.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2022, about 62.2% of households reported home equity with a median value of $198,000. The closer you get to retirement, the greater the potential for that number to rise.

So, what would happen if the equity in your home could help you live the retirement of your dreams?

This is where a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), also known as a Reverse Mortgage, could come in handy.

A HECM (pronounced “heck-um”) is a powerful, flexible financial tool to unlock home equity without giving up ownership of your home and comes with many federally mandated protections.

Check out more info in the images. If you’re wondering if this option might be a good fit for you, let’s chat!

Don’t wait until you’re under a severe weather alert to gather supplies and make a safety plan. Start preparing today with these tips.
✔️ Have an emergency plan.
• Decide what your family will do if severe weather is headed your way.
• If you had to evacuate, where would you go? Identify family members or friends who live far enough away for you to get beyond the path of a hurricane, wildfire, or other natural disaster. Tell them you’d like to include them in your emergency evacuation plan and make sure they’re willing to take you in.
• If you have young children, walk through your plan with them, including how they should take shelter in your home.

✔️ Build an emergency preparedness kit. Put together a supply of essentials and safety items in an emergency kit.
Start with the basics:
• Three-to-five-days' supply of bottled water and nonperishable food
• Battery-operated flashlight
• Battery-operated radio and weather radio
• A first-aid kit
• Cell phone charger or battery source for your phone
• Personal hygiene items
• Blankets

✔️ Gather important personal information.
• Make sure you have phone numbers of neighbors, family, friends and utility companies in your phone.
• Keep copies of your insurance and property information in your emergency kit. Many insurers, like us, make this information available through their app. If you’re a client, download our COUNTRY Financial mobile app so these documents are easily accessible.
• Check to see if your healthcare provider offers online resources to store your medical information so it’s easy to access from your phone.
• Keep critical documents, like birth certificates, in a safe or another location you can get to if your home is damaged or destroyed.

✔️ Make sure your home and possessions are covered.
• Create a home inventory with your phone. Save it to the cloud and email a copy to your insurance agent.
• Meet with your insurance agent yearly to review your home insurance policy.
• Check your emergency fund to make sure there’s enough to cover your insurance deductible in case you experience major damage to your home.
