With State Farm since I was 16. Never again. The irresponsibility that seeps from this office is enough to drive anyone mad. Not to mention, their lack of communication put me in danger and left me without any insurance - despite being in constant communication and constantly asking about my insurance policy that in effect....doesn't exist. Seriously? \t\nIf somebody calls and asks, 'what is going on with my insurance?' You might want to tell them it doesn't exist. ...read more

Seven Strategies for SavingBy Youkie Laney State Farm® Agent Are you doing your best to save for your future? It can be very challenging to begin a savings program. After necessities such as food, clothing and housing, there can be little left to put aside for future goals. Unfortunately, failing to save could mean the difference between enjoying a comfortable retirement and giving up some basic needs. Often it is a matter of making the decision to begin saving now in order to buy a new home or car later. The goals you set are important to you. Making changes to prepare for those goals can make a difference. For that reason, State Farm® has taken a look at various ways to get a person’s savings plan on track. We’ve come up with seven strategies that you can use today: 1. Don’t splurge with your tax refund. Nearly 40 million Americans receive a refund each year, averaging around $2,400. Instead of spending your refund, use it wisely by paying down debt, funding an individual retirement account, or saving it for future financial goals. 2. Take full advantage of your employer’s retirement contributions. Your employer may match a percentage of the contributions you make to your retirement savings plan.. It’s a good idea to do what it takes to get the matching limit. It’s free money that can really help your bottom line during retirement. 3. Start small and stay steady. The first word is the most important – Start. You should begin as early as possible to get the most out of your savings plan. Thanks to the power of compounding, investing another $50 a month in a tax-sheltered plan for 30 years will add nearly $75,000 to your account assuming an 8 percent average annual return. 4. Pay yourself first. Think of your savings or investments as a bill you must pay on a regular basis, much the same as a car or mortgage payment. Be disciplined and make the payments according to a set schedule. For better results, establish an automatic monthly deduction from your paycheck or checking account to fund an investment or savings account. 5. Create separate pots of savings for upcoming life stages. Retirement may be an important goal for which to begin saving, but other goals or events need as much or more preparation. Don’t short-change other goals while concentrating on one thing. Whether it’s a home, car or child’s education, it is important to give appropriate attention to each. 6. If you have children, find the right education plan. You have a number of choices when it comes to saving for a child’s education. Finding the one that makes sense for your situation takes planning and information. This takes us to the seventh and, quite possibly, the most important point… 7. …Work with someone you know and trust. Everyone’s needs and goals are unique. Just as you go through many changes during your lifetime, your financial goals may change. You should work with a professional who not only knows about various plans and strategies, but knows you and will stay with you through the long haul. Most people feel the best guidance they receive comes from a financial professional they know and trust. In the end, it all boils down to making a plan, getting started and staying the course.

By Youkie Laney State Farm® Agent Many of our dreams are dependent upon the choices we make throughout our lives. That’s why planning carefully and making smart choices will help ensure you realize your financial dreams and goals. Are you saving for a child’s college education or a new house? Dreaming about starting a new business or hoping to retire by age 55? Whatever your financial goals and dreams may be, you need a road map — an action plan — to help reach your destination. If you have a road map outlining how you’ll achieve your financial goals, how long has it been since you reviewed it?” As your family circumstances and finances change, the plans you have in place may need to be adjusted — to make sure you are still headed in the right direction. If you don’t have an action plan in place, you may be asking yourself, “Where do I start?” I can help you create your road map! The important thing is to get started today. The sooner you clarify and prioritize your goals and create a road map for how you’ll get there, the greater success you’ll have at achieving what’s most important to you. ...read more
