Special points of interest:

  • Sometimes homesickness causes overspending when soldiers are deployed overseas
  • Be sure to set bills on automatic pay when preparing to deploy. Leave login and account information with a trusted family member
  • Special Pay and FAMSEP Pay are temporary. Treat them as windfalls, not permanent increases in income.
  • The LES should be reviewed every time. If a mistake is made in a soldier’s favor the money will be taken out on a future check.
  • When a partner is left home during a deployment it can be difficult to stay on a spending plan. Anticipate more meals out  at  a minimum.
  • Some banks and credit unions are set up to serve the unique financial needs of the military. Try banks like USAA or military credit unions for solutions.
  • Check with the finance office on base to take advantage of a special deployment savings program for up to $10,000 earning great interest rates.
  • Military personnel are targeted by high interest loan companies, car dealerships and other lenders for their steady income. Caution before a loan.
