Wilbert Hamilton Offers Financial Advice on WBRC Fox 6 News Amid End of Federal Pandemic-Related Unemployment Benefits | Hamilton Wealth Advisors Founder Provides Key Insights on Managing Finances During Transitional Period
Birmingham, AL – With federal pandemic-related unemployment programs coming to an end in Alabama, thousands of residents are facing significant financial adjustments. Wilbert Hamilton, founder of Hamilton Wealth Advisors, recently appeared on WBRC Fox 6 News to share advice on how individuals can navigate these financial changes and take control of their financial future.
As of June 19th, Alabama’s federal workers’ compensation benefits will end, a decision that has left many residents unsure of how to manage their finances in the absence of these safety nets. During the WBRC Fox 6 News interview, Hamilton emphasized the importance of assessing one’s financial situation and taking proactive steps to plan for the future.
“One of the first things I tell people is to analyze their current situation. You can’t figure out where you’re going until you know where you are,” said Hamilton. “We offer a free budget worksheet on our website that helps individuals itemize their income and expenses, providing a clear picture of where they stand financially.”
Hamilton also highlighted the importance of debt prioritization, advising individuals to focus on paying down high-interest credit card debt or loans. “If you’ve accumulated debt during the pandemic, now is the time to start chipping away at it,” he added. “Rome wasn’t built in a day, and financial recovery won’t happen overnight either, so tackle one debt at a time and keep pushing forward.”
Addressing broader financial concerns, Hamilton urged viewers to develop a comprehensive financial plan, regardless of their income level. “Most people don’t plan to fail, but they do fail to plan,” Hamilton explained. “Everyone needs a financial plan, especially if you’re thinking about retirement down the road. It’s essential to set goals and work towards them.”
As the end of federal benefits approaches, Hamilton encouraged individuals to consult a financial advisor to create a strategy for long-term success. In addition, he addressed popular financial trends such as cryptocurrency and day trading, advising viewers to establish a stable foundation before exploring more speculative investments.
