Life insurance provides more protection than you might think. If something ever happens and you are no longer here to help pay for the mortgage, life insurance is a great way to help your family stay in your home. Plus, enhancing your coverage might be more affordable than you expect. Contact me today to discuss your options and feel confident your loved ones have the financial security they need.

If you’ve ever thought that you may not have enough life insurance, you’re not alone. According to the 2025 Insurance Barometer Study Report, 25 million Americans feel that they are underinsured, while 74 million Americans don’t have any life insurance at all.

So, what stops us from getting the coverage we know we need? Cost, or more accurately, perceived cost. Historically, nearly three-quarters of Americans overestimate the cost of a basic term life insurance policy. It’s worth noting that respondents, 35 and under, who said they were healthy overestimated the price of life insurance 7-10x the actual cost.

The truth is the right life insurance for your needs might be more affordable than you think. Learn more about life insurance and what options are available to you at countryfinancial.com/life.

Planning some fun at home this summer? Make sure your backyard is safe for all your favorite activities by using this summer safety checklist.

Pool safety
⁃ Never leave children unattended
⁃ Kids should never be alone in or near a pool (even if they know how to swim).
⁃ Teach children to swim
⁃ Sign your kids up for swimming lessons if you haven’t
⁃ Learn emergency skills
⁃ Young children should learn when to get help. Older children and adults should learn CPR and first aid.
⁃ Buy pool safety equipment
⁃ Keep a first-aid kit, ring buoys and reaching poles nearby. Easy access to these items could be lifesaving.
⁃ Install a safety fence
⁃ Make sure your pool safety fence covers all pool sides and has self-closing gates. Also, install locks and alarms on doors with pool access.
⁃ Keep everyone in the know. Create and post safety rules and enforce them.

Trampoline safety
⁃ Add safety features
⁃ Make sure your trampoline has padding and netting. An enclosed trampoline can help prevent falls.
⁃ Maintain your trampoline. Inspect your trampoline regularly for missing pads, tears, exposed springs and other issues that could cause injury.
⁃ Enforce safety rules. Only one jumper at a time to reduce risk of injury.

Playground safety
⁃ Inspect your playground equipment regularly
⁃ Look out for protruding bolts, open hooks, broken ropes or rusted chains that could cause injuries. Replace equipment as needed.
⁃ Create a safe landing
⁃ Invest in soft-landing material like rubber tire chips or mulch to reduce or prevent injuries.
⁃ Teach playground rules
Having kids follow simple rules can contribute to playground safety and help avoid injuries.
⁃ Supervise young children at play
⁃ Keep a close eye on kids to reduce injuries and ensure your backyard safety expectations.

Review your home liability insurance limits
Even if you follow all these tips, accidents happen. Keep your liability insurance coverage updated (and consider adding an umbrella liability policy). If you add a pool, trampoline or playground to your yard, meet with your insurance agent to see if you need to increase your home liability coverage. Stay safe and have fun this summer!

Planning a vacation or is a big trip just around the corner? Before you hit the road, here are six simple tips to help keep your home and belongings secure while you’re gone.
✅ Stash your stuff in a safe - Before you leave, place your valuables in a locked safe or safe deposit box. If those aren’t options for you, make sure valuables aren’t in plain sight or in an obvious place.
✅ Hire a sitter - If you have a pet, you can either hire a pet-sitter or drop Fido off at the local doggie daycare. For pet-free homes, consider hiring a house sitter to help water plants and check in on your home every couple of days.
✅ Stop your mail - A tell-tale sign no one’s home is when a mailbox is overflowing and packages are stacked on the porch. Before you leave town, swing by your local post office or fill out their online form to put a hold on your mail.
✅ Smart home technology - Burglars aren’t the only thing to worry about while you’re away. Installing smart home technology can help you keep an eye on your home from afar. Many companies offer a variety of smart home technology like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, garage sensors and water leak detection – so if water is detected in your basement or a smoke alarm is going off, your smart phone is alerted immediately.
✅ Keep your landscaping tidy - If you’re going on an extended trip, hire a landscaping company to cut your grass or shovel your driveway. Anything you can do to keep your property looking fresh can deter thieves from breaking in.
✅ Be careful on social media - This is nothing new, but something that’s definitely still happening. If you post you’re on vacation, online predators know your house is empty and waiting for them.

Teens and driving – the impending milestone may cause you to stress, we get it. We also get that you want to help your teen drive safely and find ways to save on car insurance. Keep reading to learn how.

🔸Discuss distracted driving with your teen🔸

A moving car should be a distraction-free zone for a new driver. Have your teen use an app that will disable incoming texts while the car is moving and handle all tasks they may be tempted to do while driving before they start the car, like starting their playlist and setting up their map app.

--

🔸Know the driving laws for teens🔸

All U.S. states (and D.C.) have enacted a three-stage graduated driver licensing system that reduces high-risk driving situations for teens. This includes limiting the number of passengers and restricting driving at night.

--

🔸Use auto telematics to track driving behavior🔸

Many insurance companies offer auto telematics apps that gather data on things like acceleration, braking, cornering and phone usage. Auto telematics programs can reward drivers for safe driving with a discount on car insurance.

--

🔸Save money on car insurance for teens🔸

Car insurance for teens can be more expensive than for adults. Here are a few ways to save money: completing a safe driving course and qualifying for a Good Student discount.
