Financial Tips for Military Spouses

Finding a job as a military spouse can be really difficult, especially as a parent of a special needs child. Explore what options the military and state might have for you! Colorado and some other states have programs that allow you to be paid as a certified caregiver! Although there might be some paperwork and processes to go through, it’s worth it to earn some extra income for work you may already be doing.
