Financial Frontlines®

By popular demand, we are launching a blog designed to support active duty, National Guard and Reserve service members and their spouses in all financial matters. We will provide timely advice on smart money moves, stretching your paycheck as far as possible in these challenging financial times, common pitfalls in retirement, college planning for kids, estate and insurance planning and how to maximize your military benefits. We will also be commenting on national and international financial issues, stock market moves and other issues that may affect your bottom line.

In addition to MOAA’s expert staff of benefits experts and certified financial planners, our readers will benefit from the knowledge of guest bloggers from several of our key partners, including Pentagon Federal Credit Union, Garrett Planning Network and others.

We welcome your questions and comments on military pay, military benefits, special military deployment programs and general financial questions around important areas such as budgeting, debt repayment, college savings, retirement savings, insurance planning and estate planning. Thanks for reading!
