Can we discuss military pay and benefits?
Yes. You can review how your pay and benefits fit into your broader financial picture, along with your goals and household needs. Bring the questions or documents you would like to discuss.
Can financial planning help before a move?
Planning can help you prepare for the financial details of a relocation, including changes in expenses, housing, and household routines. The right topics depend on your assignment and family circumstances.
What should we bring to an initial conversation?
Bring a general sense of your income, expenses, savings, benefits, and goals. You do not need to have every detail ready; start with the questions that matter most to your family.
