How Joining the Military Can Help You Achieve Financial Freedom

The military isn’t for everyone (Hell, it was barely for me!)

But it does offer many benefits, and if you do decide to join, these benefits can be a great boon to your quest for financial independence.

There's a place for almost anyone in the military. They take folks from all genders, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds (though there are limitations for those with disabilities)

Anyone Can Join

I HATED the military. Hated the structure, the politics, the rules, the propaganda, and the idea that we might not always be doing what is right.
