As MilSpouses, we are often asked to shoulder a big load of responsibility. When partners deploy or work long hours, managing career and home responsibilities — especially finances — can fall on us.

May 10 is Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and we pause to honor your unwavering support, strength and resiliency in all you do for your service member, community and country. In addition, I want to show you some love by lightening your financial load with great resources and tools from MilSpouse Money Mission. They are prepared by people who understand your situation — some of them military spouses — and can help you confidently manage your finances each day.
