Money Monday: The hidden cost of delaying financial decisions

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Waiting to improve your financial habits can lead to missed opportunities and make long-term goals more difficult to reach.

Deidra Willis, a wealth management advisor, joined Rising for Money Monday to discuss creating a realistic spending plan, managing debt and preparing for retirement. She emphasized that people do not need to have their entire financial future mapped out before taking the first step.

Willis also discussed how financial pressures are affecting younger generations and why building strong money habits early can create more stability over time.
