Do you think the military gets paid enough?

[JohnSmith-lcmp]

I'm impressed with your budget. 1500 a month in investments and 5% in your retirement funds is so smart. Most people your age are just buying a bunch of bs. Wish i could go back in time and do this myself.

Great video. Financials in the military is definitely a hot topic but honestly it really depends on someone’s choices and lifestyle

[JuanLopez-cvdy]

My Girlfriend joined the military and don’t want to admit it was a bad decision financially, she doesn’t know how to budget, had problems in the civilian world and thought the military would solve it, however I don’t see her improvement. Great experience and definitely will help you down the road, but people joining have to be smart like you my boy!! I am considering joining even thou I’ll will take a 20k pay cut, I just wanna serve and experience the lifestyle and benefits, I will returned yo my regular civilian world after, thanks for the video good info

[marlabyars]

Very smart young man! Most people your age don't pay themselves by saving. Way to go!!

For some of you who may think is low pay, I'm a software engineer in latin america, with 3 years experience, barely making 19.5 K a year before taxes and deductions, and that is consider a very good salary, take into account I have to spent half of my income after taxes and deductions to pay for rent, food and general stuff, latin america is not as cheap as you may think. And defenitely the army is hell of an option, not having to pay for food or rent, really is a blessing, thank you to all of you serving!

Being in the military as enlisted is like being on welfare but also better, they'll provide basic needs for free, housing, food at chow halls, medical, etc, and will also pay for schooling and other extra bonuses. Still you have to commit your own life in wartime and risk getting killed on the front lines. In my MOS, the survival rate during wartime on an active front, like a Vietnam firefight for instance, was only 5 minutes!

Currently as a Specialist in the Army i save roughly $2000 every month after putting 5% into my Fund. Its all about smart planning and at any rank you can save nearly your entire paycheck if you really want to.

27 years and just talked to an air force recruiter today.

Great video! They need to play this in high schools all around the country instead of recommending kids take on $100K in debt to go to college.

so I'm 24, I'm in the NJ Army National Guard, and joined about aa year and a half ago. I would say, if your like 17-19, go Active Duty, it'll give you the discipline you need at that age, and if you adopt the right mindset, and talk to the right people, it will give you the financial literacy you need at that age. if you're want to join, and your a bit older, like I was, go part time, I didn't really go to college, so I got most of the discipline I needed through working, and most of the financial literacy I needed from being rat poor (talking 5 or 6 packets of Raman, and whatever I could steal from work, so like a chicken tender and a few grape tomato's every other day as my food for a whole week, poor. talking a girl dumped me because I looked like a "no no German camp survivor" paraphrasing because YouTube, but her words, poor) and desperately trying to get myself out of that situation, learning how to budget, save and so on. so if you've built that discipline, and those skills to a degree, but want to expand them, go part time. if you mostly lack them, go full time. but whatever you do, use the Military as a tool and resource to better yourself

Considering low income countries... the amount of salary is huge.

[haywardsmartin]

I’m 31 and looking to join the military part time.
Currently work for the national guard as an internal auditor.

In the USAF in ‘83-89 I was honorably discharged with $25, 000 in my bank account, about $50, 000 today! I got a truck, apartment and a job at the USPS and now retired…NOT BAD!!!!

[johnvillanueva]

most americans that make 100k a year in the civilian they only bring in 50-60k after taxes and on top of that healthcare and copays your spending 20k a year and saving for retirement is nearly impossible

[brazy]

Definitely from Detroit I can feel your spirit! Good work brotha💯

6:46 my guy said he is still healthy with 4 legs 😂
