Earn Your Financial Freedom
When I joined the military in 2010, there were no books to show me how to reach financial independence while serving in the military. Five years later, I set out to write that book. Now, you can benefit from the thousands of hours of research, writing, and real world experience I learned during my military service.

What is the Military Money Manual?
Don’t know an IRA from a TSP, or an SCRA from an CZTE? Fear not: The Military Money Manual is here to help.
In this concise, no-nonsense guide, Air Force Major Spencer C. Reese, founder of the popular personal finance site MilitaryMoneyManual.com, offers invaluable tips and tricks to help service members of all ranks, branches, and bank account levels gain financial independence.

Said benefits include special tax-deferred savings plans, preferential bank loans, fee waivers on high-end credit cards, and much, much more.
Personal finance shouldn’t be intimidating or boring. With its candid, accessible tone, The Military Money Manual feels like having a beer with a good (and financially savvy) friend. So pull up a chair, get comfortable, and learn how to make your military money work for you.

The Website
I've been writing the Military Money Manual Blog since 2012. I cover TSP investing, military travel hacking, tax free combat zone deployments, TDY pay, credit cards, and lots more.
98% of my content is available for free. However, there are over 300 posts on the site. It would take you a long time to read it all! I saved you the trouble and consolidated it all down into my book.
If you want my best material, I recommend picking up the Military Money Manual book today.
The Podcast
Every Monday we discuss an actionable tactic or a high level strategy to help you achieve financial independence while you serve in the military.
My good friend Jamie co-hosts the podcast with me. We are both active duty Air Force officers with over 24 combined years of experience saving, investing, and working hard on the road to financial freedom.
