Managing debt can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to define your financial future. Anthony Williams, CFP®, Wealth Management Advisor at Northwestern Mutual, explains that tackling debt requires a thoughtful, strategic approach. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, Williams advises individuals to take a step back and assess their financial situation.
Striking a balance between lifestyle and financial goals will be an important mindset to adopt when it comes to paying down debt. Williams encourages making small lifestyle adjustments to ease financial strain, while also highlighting the value of increasing income and staying disciplined when paying off debt and saving for the future.
As the first in his family to graduate college, earning a marketing degree from Howard University, Williams understands the challenges and aspirations of individuals from underrepresented communities. Starting as a top-ranked intern at Northwestern Mutual in 2014, Williams quickly transitioned into a full-time role, where he has since built a thriving practice. Williams is dedicated to guiding individuals and families, especially those who are first-generation wealth builders, navigate their financial journeys.
