@alex_military_money: my best friend just married into the military and asked me what to do with the money. here's exactly what i told her. 💸👇 three things. start today. 1. automate everything - fund your roth IRA on the 1st and 15th when paychecks hit, make sure TSP is getting at least 5% for the full match, and transfer whatever you can to a HYSA every single payday. if it sits in your checking account you will spend it. every time. 2. start investing today - not after the car is paid off. not after the kitchen renovation. today. the best day to invest was yesterday. second best is right now. 3. every raise is a wealth gap opportunity - every promotion, every pay increase, every bonus is a chance to widen the distance between what you earn and what you spend. this is how your savings rate grows without your lifestyle ever feeling like it's shrinking. the military pay system is actually built for this - predictable paychecks, twice a month, same dates every time. automate around it and you will barely notice the money is gone. save this and send it to a military spouse who is just getting started. #militarywife #militaryfinance #wealthbuilding #PersonalFinance #militarymoney
