Don't throw cash into your TSP, their funds are terrible. Put after tax money into a ROTH IRA. Use Vanguard, Edward Jones, etc to invest - from a former E-5 now making 6 figures.
Austen Alexander i just wana join US army.What should i Doo. i Have green Card of United states.so can i join.
If you are single and live on post the only thing you will receive will be your base pay.
I was getting about 2900 per month as an SGT when I got out 3 years ago. It's not that much.
Should of went into the airforce they get more benefits like substandard living allowance. I was in the Army and if they had to live around us they got substandard housing.

How to save a lot of money: don't buy a brand new car, don't get married, don't live off base, don't eat out everyday
Edit: Don't have kids either. Period.
in the military you get paid a lot more if youre married and get privileges like living off base and not having to eat at the galley/defac
CamJam 312 you only get the bah if you live off base, just gotta play it smartly
takanti and you can even keep some BAH living on base if youâre married. A lot of bases have different types and areas of housing and you wonât pay your entire BAH to live there.
John Simmons Next thing you know "Jodie" comes along and swipes her up. Sorry pal, I don't believe in empty promises.
-MODDED MASTER- thatâs why you donât get married for BAH. Get married when you find the right woman.
It's been a long time since I was in service, but as I recall, your check was used mostly for drinking. Easiest way to save money in the military is to avoid bars.
60k a year. Room and board payed for. Clothing allowance. You don't have to live in your own house. College paid for. Healthcare for life. Spend 20 years and have a tax payer funded retirement. Being a non-educated (no college) young man. You're doing well compared to most your age. Good job young man.
Sure beats my fuckin job at Chipotle. Sweating in the kitchen for like 16k a year
Correction 60k a year minus all the expenses that you dish out for that year, what does that leave you with remaining?
Not sure what branch paid you 60k a year but it definitely wasnât the United States military lmfao
Skyler Sipes wym people get paid that tho lmao depends on your branch and job as well but most of all what rank you are
Lord of Cinder if your single and donât have wife and kids you make a killing plus no debt when they pay for your college while most people will have to pay off college debt for along time

WAIT WHAT!?!?!?
When I joined the air force, my first assignment was in a small air station in Germany which was located in the Ardennes Forest were the Battle of the Bulge took place. Didn't have a car for three years but saved a lot of money to tour all over Europe. The large air base located one hour south of us had a lot of tours all over Europe. When I mean tours I'm not talking about military tours. I'm talking about tour buses for tourist. In all I've been to many places than the people in that air station that I've worked with who are married, living off base paying rent, gas and vehicle maintenance. While the single guys wasting their money on alcohol and partying a lot and getting drunk all the time since they never cart you in Germany even if your under 18 years of age. It was my best assignment of my entire 20 year career. The funny thing is that my brother, a retired CPO, told me not to join the Navy but the air force. Thank god for that suggestion.
I'm an old Airman too. I started getting into photography about 8 years ago. I wish, instead of the car and tv, I would have started that when I was a young Airman. If I could do it over, I would not buy the car and tv, but an SLR camera and taken classes. Back then, it was on film and we didn't have CZcams to learn from.
Also, I also wanted a pilot's license, which I took one lesson but my car payment kept me from getting that. I would rather now have the license as the car has long been crushed and recycled.
Lol this comment is gold, I quit drinking while in, best decision, got out with a fat savings from 3 deployments and such, able to pay my first and last plus security in Massachusetts cash, and still had plenty as a reserve, my savings now is even bigger cause I have a bachelors and masters and work in cyber security which pays healthy, military can set you up very well, plus the GI Bill BAH i got, I pocketed it all my entire degree
@@mgray4254 Is deployment $ the same among all branches ?
What was your mos cuz Iâve been talking to Marine recruiters but you made me think about air force
I got hazardous duty pay.
Me: well thatâs gotta be good money
$50.00
Me: ohh.
There is also Foreign Language Proficiency Bonus (FLPB). My roommate in the Navy spoke Chinese and made an extra $500 per month.
dang I completely forgot about that. It's a very rare thing but that's a nice bonus
Time to start on my foreign languages đ
How does that work? I'm fluent in French
Thatâs true. When I wanted to join, the recruiter mentioned that
Jamel 0012 you have to take a proficiency test. If youâre not currently enlisted make sure to inform your recruiter
They need something like this for boot camp. Basic financial management is very important and usually gets overlooked. Iâm really impressed with you. Thanks for the great video!!
They have it, but you're so exhausted going through boot camp that you can barely focus. At least, that was my experience in the army.
This really helped me. I am about to enlist in the navy and your videos have been great for getting an idea of what to expect. Thank you for your service đșđž
Thank you! Best of luck with everything!
How is it so far?, I'm planning to join tomorrow.
My dad struggled like a mofoer to feed a family of 6 in the Army for 20 yrs of service BUT we were happy growing up, Thatâs why i drive a truck for a living, i saw what he went thru and i never will do that but i make $80,000 + a year, $6,667 a month, $3,333 every 2 weeks, wake up when i want, go out on the road 5 dayâs at a time come home for 3 dayâs, get 31 dayâs paid vacation a year @ $200 per day.

I really appreciate you being so open about your pay. Most people keep their checks and bills extremely secret. This is fascinating for both the military aspect and the expenses aspect.
Itâs also incredibly motivating for those like myself that did not realize the military paid so much :)
GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS FOR KEEPING US SAFE!!! ANYONE WHO SERVED/SERVES OR WILL SERVE IS A HERO!
Damn military doesnât get paid shit. Kinda sad, yâall deserve more!
Plus long days of work and a lot of bs
I can see why you'd think that but when you're in the military your life is literally free, a normal person would be spending his entire paycheck to get by with $500 extra each month. But since he doesn't have to pay any expenses then everything after tax is pocketed and not going anywhere.

I find it inspiring that you also are always pushing yourself to be better as youâve mentioned in more recent videos. I think thatâs awesome that you donât just shoot for the bare minimum in life.

My friend , was in air force and rented 3 bedroom house for $1,800/ month. With 2 other Sr. Airmen getting $1,200/ month a piece. Basically they had blow out parties every 2 weeks. And invited the neighbors.
The Navy took great care of me and my family. In fact, I don't know any of my friends that had a problem with the pay. It's a great career for those who take advantage of what's offered.
@Randall Taylor It actually is. I'm almost 11 years Active, own 1 rental property and a Tesla. Will be purchasing a second property once I finish my 3 years in Japan. You ever been to Japan? It's great.
So dumb service members get taxed but congress won't even pay tax
Because we are living in corrupted society ~
Yes, but an important aspect is that anything that was labeled "pay" is taxed, while anything labeled "allowance" is tax-free. If you are married and not living in the barracks, it takes a LONG time before you base pay exceeds your BAH, so the majority of your income ends up being tax-free.
But the other half of that is that the junior guys will be getting their lodging and food provided, so all the rest of that pay is entirely disposable other than their cell bill and their insurance for their car. Also remember that healthcare is provided, and Navy docs are stellar. Even better with Flight Surgeons at squadrons because they are like super stars. And if mil docs cannot treat you, you get referred out to civilian specialists at no cost.

@@devn3813 trump? Service members been getting screwed by our government since the beginning of time. Not trump.

Nice video, Thanks for your service! I worked DOD Navy for 41.5 years. Time just flies when you are having fun..
Best advice for military life:
DO NOT GET MARRIED AND/OR HAVE KIDS TO GET OUT OF THE BARRACKS.
If you do get married, make sure they have a job as well. That's the only way it's worth it.
Dont marry a illegal immigrant stripper like i did basically. . ..13 years later take the advice lol

Taxes don't pay anything except the debt you were born into which goes to a secret group of private people who own your federal reserve which has the right to just create any amount of money they want out of thin air... So when America pays for something it first created debt to do so. There is not enough money in the world to EVER pay off this debt because the debt comes FIRST WITH INTEREST already tagged on...
You were born into economic slavery and will always be an economic slave unless the entire system collapses and resets... Good luck.

Either Iâm really crazy or people in any branch of the military shouldnât have to pay taxes
You only pay Federal tax
Guys in combat donât pay any taxes for that period, could be the same for guys on deployment for that 9 month stint. Not sure about the latter though.
@@LLJR Depends on your state. I had to pay Minnesota state taxes when I was in.
They pay on base pay but not allowances like COLA, housing & food (BAS). If you get deployed to certain areas, then you have tax free plus hostile fire, hazardous duty pay. Don't sailers get sea pay when you're on a ship? I'm an Air Force vet.
you have to pay federal tax but if youre on base you dont have to pay tax at the commissary/exchange. however you have to pay taxes at civilian stores, but some may give you a military discount
i can't believe you have to pay taxes... the military already devalues an enlisted's life, now you have to give more money back for putting your neck on the line. Shame
Not on deployment
You put your neck on the line if you deploy then you go outside the wire !
think ab the benefits
No one made anyone sign up... You did it free of will and knew the deal going in.. if you didnt, shame on You...
You do not really pay taxes from your income, which is coming 100% from other people taxes... :)
I was in the Corps in the 70's/80's, was surprised then to learn a sergeant I knew with wife and kids was getting and needed food stamps. I still believe people in the military SHOULD NOT BE PAYING TAXES - LIFE, LIMBS AND SANITY ought to be enough !!! SEMPER FI !
Sorry to say but the government dont give 2 shits about you or anybody for that matter,,,, Reality.
@@xaviergonzalez8632 XG, GREAT - YOU GOT MY POINT. BUT, ITS EVEN GREATER TO FLY HUEYS AND GET PAID FOR IT ! PERFECT FOR A KID WITH NO CONNECTIONS OR "INS" AND WITH A DESIRE FOR AN ADRENALIN RUSH. I NEVER INQUIRED ABOUT THE PAY - JUST WANTED TO SCREAM, AKA WOP-WOP-WOP, ACROSS THE TREE TOPS WITH THE DOORS OPEN. LIFE IS FRUSTRATINGLY BORING NOW, I.E. STANDING IN CHECKOUT LINES WHILE DIPSHITS FIDDLE WITH COUPONS AND COIN PURSES AND WHILE OTHER ASSHOLES DON'T TURN RIGHT ON RED ETC, ETC, ETC ( THE LITTLE THINGS REALLY ARE THE BIG THINGS ). ITS LIKE LIVING WITH THE WALKING DEAD OUT HERE !!! I KEEP WONDERING HOW MUCH MORE I CAN TAKE BEFORE I BLOW. MY FEAR : SOME DAY SOMEONES GONNA BEEP AND THAT'S GONNA BE THE END OF THE BOTH OF US. SEMPER FI !
even more so if they are active at the time
This sounds cold hearted but that's totally on the sergeant. No one in the military should ever find themselves in a situation to need food stamps and if they do it's completely due to bad planning on their part. Yes there may be exceptions but the majority it's due to lack of planning ahead. Are service members underpaid for what they do and go through? Absolutely and then some. But the simple fact it is, the pay is what it is. All the tools are available to all members to plan accordingly. Pay scales, housing allowances based on with or without dependents, bonuses, etc. It's the service member's responsibility to make informed decisions and when and if to get married and whether or not to have kids. Does the spouse work or not work and what kind of work if they do? And I can tell you from an LPO standpoint, having a junior sailor (I was Navy) with these kinds of issues can be a real stressful burden.
FRANK GETSUM If military donât pay then others will want that âprivilegeâ u guys get
Very excellent presentation. Thank you. There are other benefits that are included that apply to those who are career military. Retired pay, Medical benefits, to name a few. I retired at 38 years old with 21 years service and it is certainly nice to have those two benefits for life.
It comes down to making wise financial decisions. My son loves the military and we were just watching the Navy recruiting. Thank you for breaking down the finance

Taking care of my unforseen injuries while in service greatly benefited the road to my va compensation. Just a thought. Good job. Very creative in your videos.
The fact of the matter is that the military has never been the road to riches- ever. That's not a American thing; just the way it is. You'll get paid nearly nothing in exchange for some good benefits down the road.
Get yourself a sugar mama. I had a colleague who was E-7 and wife was O-3 or 4.

Thanks Henry!
I watched a documentary on one of the carriers on PBS. The Captain mentioned that with the hours a Sailor puts in on deck, his or her final hourly pay is about $9.
True but when you're deployed you work 24/7 pretty much so that's pretty fair imo because of economic reasons
@@trigger1377 No, they don't work 24/7 unless they're at war. They do work 7 days a week. They work ~16 hour days. My son was in the Navy.
Gotta love the intro even the pup was in on the fun.
WOW, stuff has changed a whole lot since i was in Navy. Bachelor Housing Allowance was really hard to get. I was a PR2 and still had a hard time getting any off base allowances. If i lived off base it came outta my pocket. And my base pay after 7 years in active duty I believe was approximately 500 to 600 bi-weekly. But IMHO the chow hall was a better deal even though you had mystery meat at least 3 times a week and Mid-Rats was always awesome. Good job Petty Officer Alexander.
This is pretty accurate, I was in the military from 2004-2010. After my I finished by BT, I decided to be a ranger, I went to rangers training (3/75). My first year pay check was ok was making about 30k a year, second year in the military (when I actually got deployed) and went on consent missions, it shot up to 38k. After it was all said and done (and after 3 deployments) I was making a little over 48k a year.
I loved being a ranger but the greatest thing about it was now I have full health coverage, my college was free, I majored in IT because I was the lead comm's and was always trying to fix my radio (taking it apart etc). Now I make over 200k a year with full health coverage for life, USAA memebership for life, etc. I loved the military, and would do it all over again if I went back in time.
DJG37S hey, Iâm 18 and about to join the Army. Do you mind answering some questions I have?

Lemoore is terrible. When I made rank and could move off base, I lived in Visalia. I was stationed there from 05-09. Thank you for your service.
Wow, pay sure has gone up since I was in. I actually made less than minimum wage when I went in. Buying a car was only a dream on a private's paycheck :). Then again, I didn't have to contribute to my college fund (and the GI Bill was the main reason I could afford college). I'm glad there are still kids out there that consider the military service.

I was a journeyman electrician in Texas building new homes.
I made less than you, paid rent and more bills.
Military pay isn't that bad compared to a real civilian career considering covered costs.
that's what I'm saying! It really isn't that bad
What? I thought electricians made a lot of money!?!?
@discorperted How do you become a journeyman without a social security number?
@@Cowboynudes you just need the experience and they will pay you under the table.
They do make a lot of money but guess he isn't union
That opening was fire
