You’ll be experiencing changes, making many decisions and preparing for a long and happy life together. Farm Bureau can help you set goals and take action to help ensure a secure financial future as you begin your journey. Life insurance for a financial foundation Now there are two of you, at least … and there may be more on the way in the future. Now is a good time to consider purchasing life insurance. Life insurance can provide benefits while you’re living, and help your family after you are gone with things like the mortgage and car payments, child care and college costs. There are a variety of life insurance products, including term or permanent coverage, designed to meet your changing needs. Homeowners insurance Along with marriage comes combining households. You may be moving from a rental to your first home or moving into a current home and selling the other. In any situation, you want to be sure you have homeowners insurance or renters coverage to protect your assets in case of unexpected loss. It provides coverage for your home, personal property and liability for any lawsuit or claim brought against you. Auto insurance It’s also important to update your auto insurance, so you and your spouse are covered under the same policy. If you’re blending families and have teen drivers, you will want to make sure they are included under your auto insurance policy, too. Auto insurance provides protection against financial loss resulting from collisions, vandalism, break-ins and other situations where damage or injury may occur to you or others. Investing As you start your lives together, remember that the earlier you begin to save and invest, the more likely you’ll be to have enough money to live comfortably, help with education of your children and fulfill your dreams after you retire. Keep your documents current It’s important to keep legal, financial and insurance documents up-to-date, and in a safe location known to family members. As your life changes, this information will need to be reviewed and changed as well. To help keep track of your personal belongings, use our handy home inventory. The Personal Journal of Wishes and Records® can help you keep track of personal information and final wishes. As you marry, you are embarking on an adventure in your life … a new direction with many exciting times ahead. We wish you well on your journey, and can help make this a smooth transition for you. Find a Farm Bureau agent today.   Find an Agent Contact an agent near you to discuss your insurance and investment needs.
