Military family life (even after your active-duty chapter) is unique and presents opportunities and challenges not found in the average civilian’s life. Through military financial planning with a firm such as AAFMAA Wealth Management & Trust (AWM&T), you can build a road map to help you navigate the nuances with confidence.
Perhaps you’ve recently transitioned out of the military or you’re a surviving spouse. Or maybe you’re ready to head into your final retirement. No matter the circumstance, a comprehensive financial plan is an important tool that can help you manage obstacles and take advantage of opportunities—now and in the future.
Military financial planning can be more complex than for civilians because of military pay, specialized benefits, special tax situations, and unique retirement plans. Having a comprehensive financial plan developed by someone with a deep understanding of the military lifestyle and the distinct differences from civilian life can help you experience a better financial future.
Here is why you should consider creating a financial plan with a military financial planner who has the experience and military background to handle financial planning for military families.
What Is a Financial Plan?
A financial plan is more than just a budget. It’s about looking at your entire life and developing strategies to align your goals and dreams for the financial future you want.
Military financial planning begins with a Relationship Manager speaking with you to get to know you, your family, and your dreams and aspirations. The Relationship Manager reviews your financial situation and your short-term and long-term goals.
After a team of financial planners reviews all your information, they develop a financial plan. A military financial planner goes over those initial findings and key insights and recommends changes needed to realize a financial future that aligns with your values.
Military financial planning can help you develop a comprehensive financial plan that covers:
- Insurance
- Saving
- Investing
- Mitigating taxes
- Retirement planning
- Estate planning
- Safeguarding assets
Through financial planning for military families, you build a road map to help guide your financial future. However, the plan isn’t static. As your life changes—when you transition from the military into a second career, or you enter your final retirement—your financial plan changes with you.
A military financial planner is well-positioned to help you make the necessary adjustments and stay on track toward your goals.
Military Financial Planning Distinct to You
As a servicemember, a spouse, a Veteran, or a retiree, your lifestyle may involve complexities that aren’t always easy to navigate.
Military financial planning takes these issues into account with an understanding of the unique stresses you may face and how they impact you financially. A military financial planner knows the right questions to help you find the right strategies for your future. Military financial planning can help at every stage of your military career and beyond.
Whether you want to change your retirement strategy or safeguard your legacy, a comprehensive financial plan can help you get there.
