If you have loved ones in the military, then you may be familiar with the financial challenges that often come along with that life. Frequent moves, deployments and everyday life can put a strain on finances. It can be difficult for military families to plan for financial needs in the future when they aren’t certain what the future holds.
We have a lot of family members and friends in the military. I have seen so many of them living from paycheck to paycheck over the years, struggling to make ends meet.
Now there’s help for families in just that situation. It’s an app created for military families, with essential resources and tools to help users make more informed financial decisions.
It’s called the My Military & Money app.
.
The My Military & Money app is free on iTunes and Google Play and is perfect for anyone trying to get a handle on their finances. Whether you want to create a credit reduction plan, build a balanced budget, or manage a savings plan, this app is straightforward and easy to use.
You can even use the financial wizard to get started.
.
Along with standard financial planning functions, the My Military & Money app also has features specific to the needs of military families. For families that move regularly and start over every few years, it can be difficult to stay on top of financial responsibilities. Instead of having paperwork to keep up with or a system that can only be accessed by computer, the My Military & Money app is always available on your mobile device. It’s perfect for families who are always on the go!
The My Military & Money app was created in a partnership between McGraw Hill Financial and the BBB Military Line, a community-based military consumer education and advocacy program. Because of that, you can rest assured that you’re using the best financial management strategies available. And since none of your personal finance information is stored in the app, you don’t have to worry about privacy.
The Military & Money app is available to download for free on iTunes and Google Play.
My husband is a retired vet and they have free financial planners right on all the bases, so he did all of our investing through them.
This is pretty neat for military families. I came from a military family but I’m not one of them now. I’ll share this with my friends in the military. There is an app for everything!
I think this app would be very useful. I will be passing this on to a couple of friends in the military. Thanks for the info!
We are not military, but sounds like a great app. We can always work on saving more.
That’s a really amazing app. I worked with a woman who’s husband was in the military, and she said the worst part of moving was getting the finances in order.
This is a great app for people in the military. I’ll be passing on info about it to a few of my friends who could definitely use it!
I’m not military but this sounds like a great thing for them. Anything that helps with money management is good.
What a great idea for our military members! Managing money can be hard, so we can all use a little help right!?
I live in a city with a Air Base. I know a lot of family’s that can use this great app. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like a great app! I’ll pass it along to military friends!
This sounds like a great app to meet the special needs of military families. Although most of us could use something like that to get our finances in order.
this is a great resource that is provided for service people. Anybody could benefit from financial planning tools
What a wonderful resource. Any little thing is helpful!
This is such a neat app i know many tgat will benifit from it.
Sounds like a great app.
This app sounds like such a time and money saver for military families. I’m so glad that many will benefit from the features
This app sounds like a lot of help for families. Not just money but time too!
This sounds like a great app!
What a cool app. Sending this link to my son and his wife, they’re a military family.
Great information! My young cousin is military and just got married. I think this would be a great app for him to look into!
Wow what a cool app! Not military but I know lots who are and they’d really enjoy this!
Thank you to our armed forces! I think this app sounds helpful for everybody.
I grew up in a military family. I know how valuable this app can be. Great idea.
What a great app for military families! I have a LOT of mom friends who’s husbands are in the military, I will pass this along.
I think it’s great that apps like these are available. So many families marry young and then the spouse is shipped right off. The one behind often isn’t sure or is just overwhelmed with life tasks.
I use apps to stay on top of my finances. They are so helpful and easy to use.
Wow, I have lots of friends that could use this. What a great app!
What a great tool! Military families are so unique and have a different set of concerns than other families with moving frequently and being in locations outside of the US. I’m sure it is challenging to keep it all straight!
We are a big generational military family. This is a great app, especially for those just starting out on their own.
I think it is great that there is this app for military families. I will have to forward this post to a friend of mine whose husband just joined the army.
Very cool app! Sharing with the military members of my family!
We’re not a military family, but it sounds like a great tool for anyone. Not just military families… since most people could use help with their finances.
I’m all for anything that helps you balance, save and prioritize finances a little better. We all need help with that.
This is great! I am sure it will help a lot of military families
This is pretty cool. My husband is military and even though we don’t struggle with finances if you are just starting out and caring for a family it can definitely be a whole new experience. For military or not really. Even though I recommend if you are military and having struggles with your finances to speak with a financial planner, (they have the services free for you to use) tools like this can be super helpful in addition to that as well.
This looks like a great app. I think it is great for anyone who wants to keep finances together.
