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.

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.

When planning a getaway, you’re looking to relax and enjoy a break from the stress of everyday life. The last thing you want to worry about is what happens if things go wrong during your trip. Thankfully, you can count on your home and car insurance to protect you even when you’re away. Here are a few ways your home and auto insurance protect you when you’re traveling:

1. Roadside Assistance
While hitting the open road is a great adventure, sometimes breakdowns happen. Your auto insurance may provide you with emergency road service coverage, which can reimburse you for towing expenses, delivery of fuel, repair parts and labor charges.

2. Car insurance coverage for other drivers
Sharing driving duty with others on a road trip? Rest assured, if you give other licensed drivers permission to use your car, they are usually covered. This includes teens with learner’s permits!

3. Rental car insurance coverage
You might be wondering, “does my car insurance cover rental cars?” Generally, your auto policy should apply to the rental vehicle as long as you are driving within the United States (including your deductible). Always read the contract carefully and ask the rental agent to explain anything if you’re unsure.

Additionally, you can add vehicle rental and trip interruption coverage to your auto insurance to provide coverage for a rental vehicle if you have an accident away from home. With this protection, you may be reimbursed for a rental car if you have a covered claim, and if you have an accident more than 100 miles from home, you could also apply this coverage to travel expenses like transportation, lodging and meals. Expense limits differ by state, so talk to your insurance representative about the types of coverage available where you live.

4. Insurance coverage at a hotel or vacation home rental
If you are the victim of theft while you’re renting a vacation home or staying in a hotel, you may have coverage through your home insurance for your personal property. If you accidentally cause damage to the property you're staying in, you may have liability coverage as well.

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.

Deductibles are a key part of your car insurance policy. When you have a car insurance claim, your deductible is the amount of money you pay for car repairs before insurance starts paying.
❔-- How does a deductible work?
When you buy a car insurance policy, you’ll select a deductible amount that you're comfortable paying. Your insurance company will use this amount to set your premium.
If something happens to your car, you’ll file an insurance claim. Your insurance company will take your deductible amount out of the total payout of the claim.
❔-- How do deductibles affect rates?
Your chosen insurance deductible will impact the premium you pay for your car insurance policy. In general, if you choose a higher deductible, you'll have a lower premium, and vice versa.
❔-- Why do I have to pay a deductible?
Insurance deductibles play a key role in how car insurance works. You pay a deductible to help:
• Control insurance costs
• Encourage responsible behavior
• Prevent fraud
As always, contact me so I can help you choose the right deductible for your car insurance needs.
