Our uniforms are standardized, our financial goals should not be.
We achieve success on the battlefield by following a clear commander’s intent, managing risk, and taking aggressive and decisive action in uncertain, hostile environments.
Yet, when it comes to our personal finances we're all told to follow one-size-fits-all financial and budgeting guidance.
This is the exact opposite of what makes us successful in combat!
We train to be the best.
We are decisive and aggressive.
We know hope is not a valid course of action.
We follow these behaviors to make life-or-death decisions in combat, why wouldn’t we follow them to make high-stakes decisions with our money?
