Most of the 2.5 million men and women who were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan received no education in personal finance during their service. Now these veterans are making the transition to civilian life with little knowledge of how to manage their money. In this book, Army veteran Mechel Glass tells how she came home from war 20 years ago and took control of her financial life - and how post-9/11 veterans can, too. Here, veterans will learn how to build a personal financial action plan that meets their individual needs, understand credit and insurance, avoid scams and develop lifelong habits to stick to a budget.
