#12 The Veteran’s Day Episode: Military Money Mistakes, Cringeworthy Stories & Financial Resources
Manage episode 407296709 series 3561977
Ah… Veteran’s Day. Where we celebrate the bravery, sacrifice, and camaraderie of our country’s service members. At For Fox Sake, Veteran’s Day is close to our hearts. While we recognize the importance of all the positives of this holiday, we also want to celebrate the absolute stupidity of Vets and Active Duty Service Members.
We’re talkin’ Dependas, high interest car loans, nightmare barracks roommates, and much much more. Why are we sharing these insane stories? Because if ANYONE, civilian or otherwise, is listening to this episode: DO THE OPPOSITE of what these folks did.
We salute you, you idiots. Now go get your free dinner at Olive Garden.
In this episode you’ll learn more about:
- The biggest mistake you can make with your TSP (Thrift Savings Plan)
- Alcohol, black mold, contract marriages, and fat deployment checks
- Why you need to be on the same financial page as your partner, the importance of not being brand loyal, and credit card mistakes to avoid
- Financial resources Veterans and Active Duty Service Members can explore
A BIG thank you to Kealy, Zach, Katie, and Nate
