During National Veterans and Military Families Month in November, we salute the strength of our families as they support the mission of our community. MilSpouses, especially, display determination as they face the challenges of military life. We see you navigate frequent moves, deployments and often raising children as a solo parent. We understand your motivation to keep a career through all of it.
Spouses typically manage the family budget and make important money decisions while their service member is away. These five financial power moves can help you remain “MilSpouse Strong” this — and every — month.
1. Celebrate the small wins. Not every financial achievement is a big one. Often, it’s just the routine of staying on budget, paying down credit cards or getting a better deal on auto insurance. However, little wins add up over time, so take pride in each one, knowing you are contributing to your family’s well-being.
2. Tap into your MilCommunity. Looking for answers to your money questions? MilCommunity contains practical tips from dozens of military spouses worldwide who’ve dealt with budgeting, savings and spending issues like yours. MilSpouse Money Mission’s own financial experts also weigh in with information to empower you to make smart money decisions.
3. Set your MilKids up for success. Teach your kids basic money skills to prepare them for a lifetime of good financial choices. See our helpful resources, including a series of engaging short videos on money topics you can watch with your children.
4. Get money-ready for 2025. The end of the year is the perfect time to conduct a financial review to see what’s working well, find where you can improve and set new goals. Our recent blog can help you get started.
5. Build your financial future through employment. Whether you’re starting out or are mid-career, there are resources to help you find and build a career that moves with you in your MilLife. Explore your options with Installation-Based Employment Assistance Programs, Spouse Education and Career Opportunities and Military Spouse Employment Partnership.
