Episode Description
Imagine your present financial challenges complicated by prolonged periods of separation. This is the reality faced by our military families when a member is deployed miles away for a long period. Having a plan is essential whereas those of us not faced with these circumstances can seemingly procrastinate forever dealing with the basics of budgeting and saving. On today’s show you will learn what is different for the military family and how to deal with those things, but also the things that are just the same for all of us. A retired career military officer who was deployed many times and who now is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) will share with us his insights and suggestions. Learn what the professionals include in planning and how you can follow their examples.
