President/Agency Owner, Main Street Assurance Services and Thomas Whitaker Allstate Agency

When's the right time to begin planning for your future? According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, on average, Americans are saving negative 1.4. percent of their disposable income (as of May 2007). Most people aren't planning to fail; rather, they're failing to plan. "The big thing is realistically establishing what your goals are and your objectives," explains Thomas J. Whitaker. "The right plan will afford you the ability to pay off all of your bills as well as save simultaneously." Having been with Allstate for 13 years and an owner of three agencies, Whitaker is a master at transforming financial landscapes in all areas of planning, from estate to retirement to life insurance.

"There are so many plans, and we can custom fit a plan for you," says Whitaker of Allstate's unmatched financial services. "It's not going to be a plan that's a cookie-cutter approach. We take the time, sit down and really evaluate your objectives." While planning for your future, life insurance should be at the top of your portfolio. "If you don't have the proper life insurance in place, what's your family going to use in order to pay for your burial or your taxes and other debt that you left?" asks Whitaker. "Before you know it, they're liquidating all of your assets just to take care of some obligations."

"I don't look at it as if I sell insurance as much as I protect lives and preserve assets," adds Whitaker, who is also a board member for the YMCA. "I really try to bring to light that [my clients are] in good hands with Thomas Whitaker and Allstate." - adam jones
