NORTHBROOK, Ill., Sept. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate agency
owners across the United States
report that their customers are increasingly worried about their
ability to achieve financial goals, such as a secure retirement.

credit score
- Dealing with debt and mortgage problems
- Starting to invest in the stock market with as little as
$50 a month
- Saving for college
- Paying down student loans
- Insuring what's important to you and your family
