Reserve FI was born from a series of career and finance discussions in my office. Military members are notorious for making mistakes with both. As an avid reader and personal finance aficionado, I found myself being the go-to guy for my peer’s personal finance questions. Through working as a reserve component NCO, I found myself mentoring my subordinates on college, their military careers, and their civilian careers.
Military resources, in general, suck. The websites are usually old, obsolete, and full of vague information. My goal for this site is to turn it into a hub for educating service members on personal finance, using their reserve career to fuel military and civilian career paths, and how to best use their military benefits to pursue entrepreneurship.
Like you, I’m constantly learning. I’m NOT an expert, but I AM willing to learn, fail, and repeat until I get the results I desire. I’m going to catalog my knowledge, research, and personal experiments here. My hope is that you find a great deal of personal value in this site, and you share this site with your fellow service members.
