What does that have to do with active military people? You saying armed forces are dumber with their money than the rest?Ytowngirlinfla;1160566 wrote:Wow you are stupid. Not once did I say you blow money. I'm not even talking about you. I'm talking about people blowing money in general.

Also families that work at mcdonalds also struggle. Should they also not have to pay income tax?

"Give them back the money that was taken from their revenue many years agao and see where they are at.
It may be different or they may still be straddled with high pension costs that can't be sustained with shrinking revenue forecasted to continue."
OK signed Social Security

You have 6 figures as an E5. I take it "hubby" brings in most of the money. Way to brag about that.Ytowngirlinfla;1160594 wrote:I never said I make 6 figures I said I have 6 figures.

So..let me get this right. You have 6 figures saved up, and are claiming that active duty should get paid more just because young people, in general, aren't smart with their money?Ytowngirlinfla;1160579 wrote:Young kids are in general not very smart with money.
You have proven that the military pays enough. You have also proven my statement earlier, that if they are struggling to make it, its nobody's fault but their own.

No actually we don't mix money and we just got married. I love how you guys use quotes for hubby that's funny. He's also an E5 but I make more than he does cause I've been in longer and received a signing bonus.like_that;1160605 wrote:You have 6 figures as an E5. I take it "hubby" brings in most of the money.

For one I'm not young and I save all the money I can. I'm not saying it's not their own fault to be struggling especially if the spouse doesn't work.Pick6;1160607 wrote:So..let me get this right.

You should talk with Zwick, he's experiencing this same issue right now. Might be able to help him through it.Ytowngirlinfla;1160609 wrote:No actually we don't mix money and we just got married.

Health care
Extra kickbacks/benefits from various companies around the country.
Education and health care are definitely big ones, especially when you get housing assistance as well...
Imagine paying for all of those out of pocket with no help.

Health care is a joke in my experience. I'd rather pay to go to a Dr's office then deal with the corpsman who don't want to treat you properly.

But it's not just Dr's visits... I know for a fact that you guys get scripts with mostly no co-pays as well.Ytowngirlinfla;1160626 wrote:The education is definitely a bonus.

We don't pay for meds. Dependents I think do. Not sure on that. We don't pay for anything medical wise but it's terrible care.hoops23;1160635 wrote:But it's not just Dr's visits... I know for a fact that you guys get scripts with mostly no co-pays as well.

god forbid you get a snippy corpsman when you go for FREE health care. Probably snippy at you because you're in his office ever 5 min for every little thing/trying to slack off at work.
