November 11 is Veterans Day, a time to commemorate former servicemembers and recognize their service to the nation. In the U.S. today, there are more than 20 million veterans. Whether they’ve been out of the service for days or decades, they can benefit from Military Consumer’s tips on managing money, avoiding scams, and making the most of their service-related benefits.
Share these tips with your military and veteran networks. For those vets who’ve recently returned to civilian life, resources about transitioning out of the service can help with using education benefits, finding the right job, and buying a home. For those who’ve been away from the military a bit longer, veteran support tips can help avoid scams, decide whether to start a business, and evaluate potential investments.
To all our veterans, we are grateful for your sacrifices and service.
