If you’re like many people, your home is your biggest investment. Protecting that investment is an important part of your overall financial health – but in these tough economic times, few of us have loads of extra cash to spend on home repairs or costly upkeep. Fortunately, there are a few simple (and inexpensive) things you can do right now to take care of your “home sweet home”!
- Boost Your Insurance. If you own your home, you need homeowner’s insurance. Primerica Secure™, an auto and homeowner’s insurance referral program offered through Primerica, helps you shop around for the best coverage – at the best price.* Contact your local Primerica representative for details.
- Get a Sweep for Less $. The heating season is about to start, so take advantage of last minute summer deals on chimney sweeps. Remove fireplace ashes to prevent mason damaging moisture buildup. Cost: $100 – $300.**
- Take a Good Look. Inspect the exterior of your home for loose trim or siding, cracks or crumbling mortar. Also inspect your attic for any signs of leaks. Give siding a wash with a garden hose and watered down laundry detergent.
- Make an Appointment. Your HVAC system needs to be professionally inspected and adjusted before cold weather hits. Cost: $75 – $175 per year for an HVAC service contract.**
- Evict Bugs. Ants and termites can do serious structural damage. Get your home professionally checked for pests before damage occurs. Cost $75 – $100 for an average sized home.**
Just doing a little maintenance work today can help you prevent major (and costly) repairs tomorrow!

In today’s economy, many families are worried about layoffs, foreclosures and mounting debt. They’re looking for ways to cut costs, save more and make smarter money choices for their future.
Primerica, believes one of the first steps toward getting on track for a bright financial future is to create better spending and saving habits. To help you get into the mindset of making better money choices, Primerica presents three easy ways to curb spending.
1. Track purchases. Little purchases made every day can add up to big money at the end of the month. Keep track of expenditures by either writing them down in a notebook or purchasing budgeting software. You might be surprised at just how much you didn’t realize you were spending.
2. Minimize ATM visits. ATM withdrawals can add up quickly if you aren’t tracking them. It’s easy to keep pressing that withdrawal button and even taking out the minimum $20 at a time can add up quickly. The best plan is to set a limit on withdrawals per week and stick to it.
3. Cut spending by small amounts first. Breaking the over‑spending habit isn’t likely to happen overnight. Start small, say reducing spending by 10%. Once you get used to that adjustment, you can work your way up to a more aggressive cost‑cutting strategy.
Discretionary spending (e.g. eating out, entertainment, movie rentals, etc.) isn’t a bad thing, but over‑spending – particularly in times of economic upheaval – can put you into a precarious position if debt becomes too high or if you are laid off.
As you learn to budget better and spend less, the next step is to start socking away all that extra un‑spent cash. Primerica’s free Financial Needs Analysis offers a comprehensive snapshot of your finances and presents clear strategies for getting out of debt, becoming properly protected, saving more and getting on track for a great future.

Having proper life insurance protection – particularly for families with children – is a crucial element to a firm financial foundation. Today, just one third of American adults own a life insurance policy, and among those who do, two out of five think they don’t have enough.1 Some financial experts recommend parents with young children have coverage that’s 10 times their annual income.2
If you haven’t taken a look at your insurance coverage lately, now would be a good time for a checkup. Primerica’s free Financial Needs Analysis (FNA) is an easy place to start.
For many families, term insurance is the most cost effective option. In fact, experts agree that term insurance, which only provides a death benefit, is almost always the best choice. Compared with a whole life policy, term allows the consumer to purchase more coverage for less money.3
Primerica only markets term life insurance. Find out how to get your personalized FNA today!
