Money conflicts are cited as one of the most stressful conflicts for couples. To help remove some of that burden, we're sharing our top marriage finance tips to get you started as you plan your new life.
✅ Budget together
Setting up a budget is the first step to managing money and getting on the same page as a married couple. Here are some questions to start with:
• Are you combining your finances?
• How much debt do the two of you have? How are you paying it off?
• How much can you save each month for rainy days and big purchases?
• Who pays for what and who handles the bills?
✅Consider life insurance
You can’t plan for everything in life, so talk about the tough stuff now. If something happens to you, you want to make sure your spouse can pay the bills.
✅Protect your valuables
Now that you’re rocking new bling on those ring fingers, did you know you can cover them on your home insurance policy?
✅Ask about liability insurance
Your new combined net worth may exceed what’s covered by your home and auto insurance policies.
✅Find a financial advisor
Sitting down with a professional to discuss your financial goals will help you consider long-term plans for your life together.
The sooner you start managing your money in your marriage, the better chance you have of reaching your goals.

Your teen just started driving. Now what?
Here’s how to set real boundaries that stick:

No phone while driving. Download an app that blocks texts and alerts. Set it up with them.
No fiddling with music/maps on the road. Load directions & playlists before leaving.

Make the rule: car = zero distractions. No food. No friends messing around. No gray area.

Want real peace of mind? Do this next:
✅ Sign them up for a defensive driving course
✅ Turn on telematics (most insurers offer apps that track phone use, hard stops, late-night drives)
✅ Review your state’s teen driving laws—curfews, passenger limits, and more
✅ Get our free teen driver safety guide here: countryfinancial.com/teen-driver-safety

Smart habits start now. And yes—your rules matter more than you think.
Let’s help them build confidence and caution.

Permanent life insurance policies are different from term life in some key ways. Term life can be great for temporary protection, but if you need long-term security with some added benefits, permanent life might be right for you. Here are some benefits you should be aware of:

*Predictable premiums - Most permanent life insurance, including whole life policies, offer consistent premiums that policyowners can budget for. Individuals with these policies benefit from predictable premiums while securing valuable death benefit protection.

Indexed universal life insurance, a type of permanent life insurance, provides policyowners with significant flexibility in premiums and coverage. This can be valuable for individuals with less predictable incomes or who want to adjust their premium payments from year to year.

*Cash value - One key difference between most term policies and permanent life insurance policies is the presence of policy cash values. These cash values can be accessed by the policy owner for various “living benefit” needs. This may include policy loans, withdrawals or partial surrenders. When structured correctly, policyowners can use cash values without tax consequences, making them an attractive choice for many individuals.

Talking to your insurance agent once a year can help you prepare for major life events and unexpected curveballs. Here’s what to discuss and why it’s important to meet with your agent annually.

❔ What should I discuss with my insurance agent?
When life changes, so do your priorities. In an annual review, talk to your agent about changes in your life, as well as your plans and priorities, to ensure you're protected.

❔ Are there other times I should contact my insurance agent?
Yes! Here are other times when giving your agent a call is worth the time.

1️⃣ Your policy is up for renewal.
Take time to evaluate your needs and your coverage since your last renewal to ensure you’re protected.

2️⃣ You’ve made major lifestyle changes.
Got married, quit smoking or had a baby? These changes can impact your insurance coverage needs.

3️⃣ You bought or received valuable items.
Receiving gifts such as jewelry or buying anything new for your home, like TVs or even artwork, means you might need additional personal property protection.

4️⃣ You’ve updated your home.
Made home or property improvements such as replacing the roof or installing an alarm system? Depending on the upgrade, you may qualify for a home insurance discount.

As an insurance agent, I’m committed to providing you with the best solutions for your needs, so you can experience all that life has to offer.

Give me a call today, and let’s talk!

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.
