OLD BUT GOOD ADVICE "10 FINANCIAL TIPS FOR MILITARY FAMILIES"

I came across this article recently and wanted to share it with you all.  I find what we are doing particularly interesting because it involves so much more than just helping Vets find a home. We are really about helping Vets help themselves.  What we have learned is that in addition to the VA mortgage zero down benefit many members of the military have access to an entire list of special benefits and legal protections that can make a huge difference in their family's personal finances.

Which include the following:

Low-cost investments

Getting 10% on your savings, guaranteed

Benefit from tax-free in, tax-free out.

Transferring  education benefits

 Inexpensive life insurance

Tax breaks

 Housing breaks

Comparable salaries

Resources for finding a new job

This is all out there but so many Vets are unaware or are reluctant to use these benefits  they earned, that is correct earned. Using these benefits is no different than collecting your pay.
