The Intelligent Military Investor: An Officer's Guide to Personal Finance and Investing

Written by an active duty US Air Force officer and writer of the Military Money Manual blog, The Intelligent Military Investor is a high-impact, to-the-point manual that targets the financial issues facing cadets, midshipmen, and young commissioned officers, and all branches of the military.

Military servicemembers receive extensive training at making difficult split-second decisions and performing highly technical procedures. Today's United States Armed Forces are better educated than any other military in history. However, they receive little to no training in personal finance, investing, insurance, taxes, budgeting, and achieving financial independence.

This book teaches you exactly what you need to do with your money. It will teach you to use your military pay to pay off your your debts, provide for your family, build wealth through saving and investing, and stop getting ripped off by financial "professionals" who prey on military servicemembers.

The book makes an excellent graduation gift for anyone graduating from the Naval, Military, or Air Force Academy. ROTC and OTS/OCS graduates will also find the book relevant and useful. Any grade, from private to general, will benefit from the lessons within.

Easily digested by a novice to the subject matter yet the book also contains advanced concepts specific to military personnel you won’t find in other financial books.

This book will teach you:
*If you should take out a Career Starter Loan or similar “cadet loans”
*What to look in for your first car (the “lieutenant-mobile”)
*Whether you should buy, rent, or live on base
*Why the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is the best investment vehicle for financial independence
*How to automatically invest in simple, low-cost, and diversified investments that will grow your net worth rapidly
*Whether you should invest in Roth or Traditional TSP and IRA
*What kind of life, auto, and home insurance you should purchase
*How to calculate exactly how much you need for financial independence or early retirement
