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.

Currently at this time, the winds have pushed the fire in a southern direction. As the Crooked River Ranch area is placed under evacuation levels, we ask you to be overprepared. During the Alder Springs Fire, we learned how fast these fires can spread and traffic was a major issue. This is why we are issuing precautionary levels so use this extra time to load large animals and check in on your elderly neighbors that might not have Facebook.

The Crooked River Ranch Fire & Rescue have set up phone lines for residents to call with questions. (541) 923-4639 or (541) 699-4353

Do you need extra assistance? Call these lines, let's be prepared together.
