Welcome to the MILMO blog, formerly known as The Military Money Expert. With our expertise, we help the military community take control of their personal finances.
Whether you’re an active-duty service member, veteran, or military spouse, managing money can be challenging with frequent moves, deployments, and other unique circumstances, such as transitioning out of the military. At MILMO, we cover military-specific financial topics like military pay and benefits, the Service Members Civil Relief Act, VA loans, and more.
But personal finance isn’t just for when you’re in uniform. We cover core financial topics like budgeting, saving, investing, taxes, and getting out of debt. You’ll find actionable advice to help you reach your financial goals, no matter where you are on your financial journey.
We also dive into the world of entrepreneurship and side hustles. Making extra money with a side gig or starting a PCS-proof business can provide financial stability and freedom. Learn how to turn your passion into profits.
Military life comes with sacrifice, but it shouldn’t mean sacrificing your financial future. Let the MILMO blog be your resource to take control of your money and find financial success.
