Americans recognize the importance of protecting their assets, but ensuring adequate insurance coverage for homes, cars and other possessions ranks low on Americans' financial priority list, according to a recent Country Financial survey.

The survey, compiled by Rasmussen Reports, LLC and based on telephone calls to 3,000 Americans, found that just 2.3 percent of Americans listed having the right level of insurance protection on assets as their top financial priority.

However, when asked whether saving money for future financial needs or insuring assets is more important, 57.6 percent said both priorities are equally important, and 27.9 percent said protecting assets is more important.
