Military Money
The lifestyle of the military family can prove both challenging and rewarding, especially to the family finances. Saving, investing and budgeting on a military income - while coping with frequent moves, career changes for the spouse and new schools for the kids - requires special skills and planning.
MILITARY MONEY magazine explores the dynamic lifestyle of military families and provides an authoritative financial resource for those serving in America's armed forces. The magazine addresses such personal finance issues as money management, home and family life for military families, career advice, deployment and relocation, and transitioning to the civilian world. A companion website complements the magazine with additional content, calculators, surveys and other interactive tools.
Created as part of the U.S. Department of Defense's "Financial Readiness Campaign" with the support of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy, MILITARY MONEY magazine reaches an estimated 500,000 readers each quarter through distribution at military bases around the world.
MILITARY MONEY received the 2004 Consumer Financial Information Award from the Association of Financial Counseling and Planning Education (AFCPE) and the 2005 Lowell G. Daun Award from the National Military Family Association.
"Service members and military spouses - mostly young women, often with very young families and just beginning to think about their futures - face the same struggles as their civilian counterparts, but with an additional set of unique challenges," says Rebecca Stiehl, President of InCharge Education Foundation. "Before MILITARY MONEY, there was no such publication that addressed these challenges. InCharge is very proud to be able to provide this important information to this important group of people."
