Saving Money with Farmers

Great news! Just saved a brand new client in Round Rock $100 a year on his homeowner's insurance and $400 a year on his auto insurance. That's a total savings of $500 a year. That's a enough for a weekend getaway! I could do the same for you. If you or anyone you know would like to see what I can save you, please contact me at 512-413-9671 or ashingleton@farmersagent.com.

Dave Ramsey Says...



Chances are that you have heard of Dave Ramsey at some point in the last few years. He has written several books on money management, savings, etc... The Total Money Makeover is probably the most popular. He also teaches Financial Peace University which helps families learn to budget, save, and get out of debt. So, what does Dave say about life insurance?

If you die with no life insurance, your family will most likely be stuck in a dire situation and have to make drastic changes, all the while grieving you. You should have eight to 10 times your yearly income set aside in a term life policy. That way, if you pass on, your family can invest the money and, at a 10% return, replace your income.

This is something that shifts more often than you think. Every time you get a raise, have a child, buy a house or have some other significant life event happen, you need to make sure that you have enough insurance to cover it. Don’t take this lightly; one-third of adults in the United States carry no life insurance, and more than half a million in the prime of their lives die prematurely each year.

Expecting A Baby? Have Young Children?

Now’s the time to review ALL your insurance coverage:

*Be sure to review your maternity benefits with your health insurance provider. Even if prenatal care is not covered, you may have coverage if complications or illness arise.
*Once your baby arrives, add him/her to your health insurance policy within the timeframe allowed. (Usually within 30 days of babies birth)
*Review your life insurance coverage with your agent. Do you have enough coverage? Can your spouse or child maintain their current standard of living with your current coverage amount?
*If you decide to buy life insurance for your infant or child, term coverage is generally the best choice. Discuss options with your agent.
*Consider adding or increasing disability coverage to replace up to 60-70% of your income. (And/or your spouses income)
*If you rent, get renter's coverage; if you own your home, review your policy to ensure you have adequate coverage.
