In July, we observe Military Consumer Month to raise awareness of the financial challenges that servicemembers, veterans, and military families face and the need for consumer protections to ensure their financial readiness.
Office of Financial Readiness
The Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Financial Readiness (FINRED) has developed a communication campaign and media kit with curated content that leaders, service providers, the military Services and partner agencies can use to equip Service members with the knowledge and resources they need to protect themselves from scams, make informed purchasing decisions and achieve their financial goals.
Military Consumer
Military Consumer seeks to empower active duty and retired servicemembers, military families, veterans and civilians in the military community. The website has a digital toolkit with free resources to help protect servicemembers, veterans, and their families against scams and make better-informed decisions when managing their money.
Federal Trade Commission
Military servicemembers, veterans, and their families sacrifice a lot to keep our country safe. In the spirit of protecting those who’ve served, the Federal Trade Commission offers tools with practical advice to help servicemembers and their loved ones, spot, avoid, and report scams.
MilLife Learning
The Military One Source MilLife Learning website has self-directed courses and useful information on quality-of-life tropics for military families and service providers who support them. Topics cover financial readiness, saving, spending, understanding consumer credit, investing, and much more.
