- After 2020 started getting a little bit weird,
I started to think about our family,
and how we could be protected
in case something really bad did happen.
Today's video is sponsored by PolicyGenius.
They're an online marketplace for life insurance.
Three months ago a few things changed:
one, we finally got to move into our house,
which was awesome, and two, the world changed
because of corona virus and people went on lockdown,
which was not so awesome.
But in today's video, we're gonna show you a few things
that we've done, as a family, to occupy our time,
to have fun, and also some things to save money.
So, come inside, we'll show you
the first thing that we're doing.
Our favorite family card game that we've been playing
is one called (record scratch) "Cover Your Assets."
(upbeat calypso music)
Every card is worth money, and it has different
values assigned to it, and so the goal is
to build a stack in front of you.
Count 'em up at the end, once all the cards are gone...
Wild cards, and if you have those
you can play them anywhere, and there's some
gold and silvers inside of it...
Money in your stack, so whoever
has the most money wins the game.
- So, basically, the most cards with the most value.
- Yep, "Cover Your Assets."
(upbeat calypso music)
- Okay, so, we are near the end of the game,
and you can see, London and Leslie
have zero piles in front of them.
Who do you think won, Lincoln or Claire?
Put 'em in the comments before they count.
With my old job, as a pharmaceutical sales rep,
I had really good life insurance for me,
and Leslie worked for a company called Honeywell.
She had really good health insurance.
And all I really wanted, was for the next 20 years,
I wanna make sure that if something
catastrophic happens to me or to Leslie,
that our kids are taken care of financially,
and that there's money in place to protect them.
I went online, and randomly
came across PolicyGenius, true story.
And, turns out they've been the leading online
insurance marketplace since 2014,
Helping over 100,000 families get insurance.
PolicyGenius puts the top
life insurance companies all in one place.
So I didn't have to put in a ton of personal information.
And it gives you an idea about
what their rate would be for you
based off your age and your gender.
They basically worked as a broker
to connect me with the insurance company,
make sure all the steps were taken care of,
which is an important thing because
if you choose the wrong insurance carrier or
go with the wrong person that charges you too much,
it could cost your over $47,000 during your lifetime.
Leslie and I now have 20 year term life insurance.
I feel more at ease with all of the madness in the world,
and I feel like I'm protecting my family
a little bit better thanks to
PolicyGenius, and I'm saving money.

and see if there's a policy that's right for you.
- [Dan] 'Kay, what are the final numbers?
Lincoln, tell us your number.
- 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 645?
645.
- [Dan] 'Kay, 645.
Claire, what was your number?
- 625.
- [Dan] Oh, so close!
- Yes!
- [Dan] So close.
- Well done.
- Just by a hair, Lincoln is the winner.
Claire put up a good fight.
Just a couple more cards, and she would have done it.
So, anyway, this is very fun game,
not sponsored by "Cover Your Assets."
But this is one of the things that we've doing.
Zach and Cambry first showed it to us.
It's one of their favorite games,
and now we can't stop playing it.
Let me know in the comments
what games you guys been playing.
Maybe there's some new ones that we need to know about.
All right, for the next thing we've done
during the lockdown, come with me.
(car engine)
I don't wanna get sick from other people,
so we're using social distance,
we use masks in public when it makes sense,
but one place that didn't make sense
for me to be spending my money on
and throwing it every week.
I canceled my gym membership.
They do have a sanitizing station in front,
and they ask you to maintain social distance in there.
But, I just don't feel safe, personally, being in there.
So, I'd rather have the $75 in my pocket,
and then, when I'm at home, I ride a bike,
I go outside, I run, and I workout,
do pushups and things like that.
We canceled our car wash membership.
We paid $60 a month to get
our cars washed, unlimited car washes.
We knew we weren't going be going anywhere,
so how dirty is our car really going to be?
I'm sure, at some point, the world's
going to get back to normal, and I'll need
my car washed because I'm going to be going on road trips.
But, every little bit helps.
Just the money I saved with my gym and my car wash,
is paying for life insurance for me
and the family for the next 20 years.
Claire is doing something right now,
that she's been doing during quarantine that you learned.
Tell us about your new hobby.
- I do crocheting because, in the middle of quarantine,
I got super bored, and so I learned how to crochet.
So, yeah, I'm making a scarf right now.
- [Dan] That is a really cool looking scarf.
- (laughs) Thanks.
- [Dan] Okay Leslie, what have you enjoyed doing
as a family during quarantine?
- Well, we like playing the games,
but we also like doing family shows.
And so, at nighttime, we'll put on
either "America's Got Talent"
and we really like "Survivor" a lot too.
The kids, it's one of those ones that everyone,
no matter what age, they enjoy watching it,
so it's been really fun.
- [Dan] What shows have you been watching on your Netflix?
- (sighs) I don't even know which ones.
I like histor, I like documentaries.
So I watch some documentaries, some are disturbing.
Like history can be disturbing sometimes.
So, some of those are not so great and family friendly.
It's not a good answer, but it's true.
(upbeat drum and bass music)
- So Lincoln's been doing what a lot
of other kids from all around the world
have been doing, homeschool basically.
But then, once school ended, now it's summertime.
You're doing summer school right now,
so that you don't have to do as much school in the fall.
- Mmhm, I'll get out like 1:20 because
I won't have a fourth period both days.
So that's really nice, so I can go golfing earlier.
- [Dan] Summer school!
What classes are you taking right now?
- Photography and weights.
- [Dan] Body toning.
- Weights, I don't wanna say...
- [Dan] You don't wanna say it's called body toning?
Probably one of the better things
about quarantine is that golf courses are open.
And that's what we've been doing a lot.
It's social distancing, there's
tons of junior golf tournaments
that Lincoln's been playing in.
So I basically just spend my days
in a cart, watching Lincoln play golf,
and I'm not allowed to talk to him.
He just is out there golfing.
And one of the last things that we've been doing,
which is a really fun thing, swimming in the pool.
We still have never done, like,
a pool video, and this is not
necessarily a pool video today,
but moving into our home before the quarantine started
has been such a blessing because
we've been able to swim almost every day.
And one of our favorite things,
is this right here: a giant unicorn.
So, we're gonna blow it up, get it in the pool,
show you the unicorn, and show you how the slide works.
This pool is pretty fun.
(cheerful techno music)
(vinyl scraping against concrete)
Aw yeah.
Okay, we're in the pool, we love this thing.
The shadow in the afternoon
covers the area of the pool so
you don't have to wear as much sunscreen,
it doesn't get as hot in there, and, of course, the slide.
We absolutely love the slide.
So let's show you how the slide works here
'cause we never really shown you.
We have these stairs that go up.
Claire decided to use this kick board.
(water running)
(water splashing)
We have a beautiful view from up here.
So it's not that far of a ride down,
but you do pick up some pretty good speed.
There's like a three or four foot drop off
at the end of the slide going into the pool.
So, makes it actually really fun.
And sometimes we like to pull the unicorn over
and then try to land in the unicorn coming off the slide.
(child screaming)
(water splashing)
How's it going Mamma?
- Good, it's great.
- [Dan] Looking good.
- Thanks.
(water splashing)
(cheerful techno music)
- [Claire] He tackled me.
- [Leslie] A little aggressive.
- [Dan] How's it going dog?
You wanna get in too?
I don't know if she wants to, Lincoln.
- There's no way she wants to.
You're such a good girl.
- [Dan] Okay, all right, we've got her here.
- You're such a good girl.
- [Dan] Wanna go in?
(laughter)
- Look at'er feet.
(cheerful techno music)
- 'Kay, let's see it.
(water splashing)
- [Dan] Ah, she's swimming!
Come on, dog!
Come on, you can do it!
Yeah, whoa, you're fast!
(laughter)
(cheering)
Where you going?
- [Lincoln] Wait for it, wait for it, yeah!
- Thanks again to PolicyGenius for sponsoring this video.
We would love to know the things
that you've been doing for the last three months.
What are some creative, fun things
that you've been doing, or some
smart money moves that you've done.
Let us know in the comments, we do wanna see that.
Bye, thanks for watching.
- Good girl.
Good job Telsa.
- [Leslie] Telsa, you're such a good girl, you did it!
You did it.
- Helicopter, really?
(laughs) We never have helicopters here.
And I just opened the wrong door, on accident.
But for now, no car wash.
(beep sound)
- [Leslie] Who do you think's more competitive,
Claire or Lincoln?
- [London] I think it's Claire.
- I think Claire is.
- [Dan] They're both pretty competitive.
