Written by an active duty US Air Force officer, The Intelligent Military Investor is a high-impact, to-the-point manual that targets the financial issues facing cadets, midshipman, commissioned officers, enlisted personnel and all branches of the military.

Military servicemembers are highly-educated and extensively trained at making difficult split-second decisions and performing highly technical procedures. However, they receive little to no training in personal finance, investing, insurance, taxes, budgeting, and achieving financial independence.

This book fills in the gaps and will teach you to use your military income to escape from your debts, provide for your family, build wealth, and stop getting ripped off by unscrupulous financial professionals.

Straight talk and clear explanations allow the book to be easily digested by a novice to the subject matter yet the book also contains advanced concepts specific to military personnel you won’t find in other financial books.

This book will teach you:

If you should take out the USAA Career Starter Loan or similar “cadet loans”



What to look in for your first car (the “lieutenant-mobile”)



Whether you should buy, rent, or live on base



Why the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is the best investment vehicle for financial independence



How to automatically invest in simple, low-cost, and diversified investments that will grow your net worth rapidly



Whether you should invest in Roth or Traditional TSP and IRA



What kind of life, auto, and home insurance you should purchase



How to calculate exactly how much you need for financial independence or early retirement

Since 2008 I studied personal finance and investing by reading hundreds of blogs, books, and articles. I have invested over 4000 hours studying and writing on my blog, MilitaryMoneyManual.com By using the principles and ideas that I learned over 8 years of studying personal finance and serving for 6 years in the Air Force, I have been able to:

Pay off all of my student and auto loans, a $120,000 debt off my back



Buy and sell a home at a 15% profit in 3 years



Increase my net worth from the negative six figures to the positive six figures in 4 years



Earn thousands of dollars worth of free travel and hotel stays through credit card reward programs

Save yourself the time and effort. Buy my book and get the most important information you need to set yourself up for financial freedom in an hour.

A total plan to go from college graduate to wealthy investor, The Intelligent Military Investor will give you the knowledge to achieve financial independence.
