FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR SERVICE MEMBERS AND FAMILIES

If you’re an active duty service member or the spouse of one, you know you face unique challenges when it comes to managing your money. How do you prepare financially for the inevitable change of duty station or for a deployment? Who pays the bills when a single service member is deployed? Should you buy or rent when you’ll probably move again in three years? Find the answers to these and other questions in Money and Mobility: For Military Personnel and Families, a free brochure from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, and the Federal Citizen Information Center. In it, you’ll find checklists for organizing your finances, explanations of the laws in place to help you, and tips to help you avoid money drains and stay out of debt. To order a copy, send your name and address to the Federal Citizen Information Center, Dept. 596T, Pueblo, CO 81009. Or call toll-free 1 (888) 8 PUEBLO, that’s 1 (888) 878-3256, and ask for Item 596T. And visit www.pueblo.gsa.gov to read or print this and hundreds of other FCIC publications for free.
