Learning to "Map" your Money to Support your Future

After taking a personal finance class when Nathan and I were married, we started following the principles we learned. While the principles helped us, they didn’t teach us how to use military resources. There were yellow ribbon ceremonies, military advisors, and online resources, but I felt like they didn’t close the gap between what I had learned and experienced. We started reading books, listening to podcasts, taking finance courses in school, and in total, have spent at least 1000 hours learning about finance. This has helped us to bridge the gap between civilian and military finance. This is Why I created Military Money Maps
