Checco Agency Inc

As an insurance agent, I talk about protection every day. Just like we trust professionals in other fields to guide us, my job is to help families understand the importance of protecting what matters most.

This picture of my daughter sitting on my shoulders as we walked toward the United Center means everything to me. She is my world. While I hope I’m around for many years to come, life insurance gives me peace knowing that if something unexpected were to happen, her future would still be protected.

I pay around $60 a month for a $500,000 term insurance policy. Some people may see that as money they may never use, but I see it as protecting the people I love most.

If you have children or loved ones who depend on you financially, it may be worth taking time to review your life insurance options and make sure you have a plan in place that fits your needs and budget.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

The first federal law requiring seat belts in all vehicles took effect on January 1, 1968. Today, buckling up is a reflex for about 90% of us — one that saves about 15,000 lives annually, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
