There are several unique savings opportunities for military personnel, and multiple benefits and specific programs that can help military personnel build wealth.
The “Thrift Savings Program” (TSP) is a retirement plan for military and government civilian employees. This is similar to a civilian 401(k) plan. The TSP Roth option is a great opportunity to build Roth assets. Additional programs offered only to military personnel are the “Post-911 GI Education Bill”, the “Savings Deposit Program” for deployed military members, and Veterans’ Administration Home Loans.
Military service comes with a financial picture unlike almost any other career path. Your retirement options work differently, buying a house becomes more complex, and your job, while rewarding, can be high-pressure.
