The Military Wallet: Your Military Personal Finance Resource

The Military Wallet is a fundamental military personal finance and benefits website for military members, veterans, and their families. Their goal is to help the military community better manage their finances and educate the community about various programs and benefits.

 

 

Below are the various personal finance subjects covered:

 

Benefits:

Military members, retirees, veterans, and their family members have access to various extremely valuable benefits. This section of our site can help you learn more about the benefits you have earned and how to apply for them.

VA Disability:

There are hundreds of benefits available to military veterans, from health care to education and training, housing assistance, and more. Sometimes, it can be challenging to know which veteran’s benefits are out there and for which you may have eligibility.

Part of the problem is the huge number of benefits programs, as well as misconceptions about who is eligible for these programs. Our military veterans may qualify for dozens of different benefits. The Veterans Benefits Guide can show you how to find the services you may be eligible to receive.

Military Discounts:

Military members make daily sacrifices to secure the freedom that many of us take for granted.  Sometimes a simple “thank you” doesn’t seem like enough to properly thank all military members for their service on our behalf.

Perhaps this is why thousands of stores around the nation offer military discounts to active service members, retirees, veterans, and in some cases, their family members!

The Military Wallet has done its best to verify each offer on the site’s list of military discounts. 

Please help share the web page with other military members and veterans who may use these discounts!

Thrift Savings Plan:

The Thrift Savings Plan is the government and military retirement plan, similar to a civilian 401k plan. The Thrift Savings Plan Guide provides a general overview of the Thrift Savings Plan, including how you can start your TSP account, the benefits of the TSP, pros, and cons, how to diversify your investments, and much more.  There are also beneficial articles that will help to further educate you about using the Thrift Savings Plan’s benefits.

Money:

This section provides up-to-date blog articles on the many areas of personal finance issues that are unique to our military.  It is a great resource to keep you fiscally educated!

The Military Wallet Podcast: 

The Military Wallet Podcast is a weekly podcast that brings you the latest news and information about military and veteran benefits. It has a wide range of topics covering benefits programs for active-duty members, retirees, members of the Guard and Reserves, veterans, and their family members.

Some of the topics they cover include military pay and benefits, military retirement pensions, VA Disability claims, VA Loans, GI Bill, Thrift Savings Plan, and much more.
