Although we may not fully grasp the extent of the sacrifices that our active-duty troops and veterans have made for our country, we know that each one of them deserves to live comfortably after all that they’ve done for us—preserving our freedom and protecting our security. Sadly, many military families don’t enjoy comfortable living.
Studies show that financial stability is one of the major issues that military families are confronted with. To address this concern, some military spouses have to take on multiple jobs to sustain the needs of their families. Unfortunately, finding stable and rewarding jobs can be more challenging for them than what they initially expected.
While our servicemen and women fight bravely for our nation’s interests, the families they leave behind bear the weight of problems related to their absence from home. To give you an idea of what we’re talking about, Veteran Car Donations shares the top three financial issues facing military families:
- Military Spouse Unemployment
While most American families have both parents working day jobs, the same is not true for military families. Taking care of the kids and trying to earn a decent living can be extremely challenging and stressful for a solo parent. It’s very difficult for a military spouse to work outside the home without someone watching their children while they’re at work. Since most military families depend solely on the income of the family member who’s in the military, oftentimes, the money they get is not enough to meet their needs.
- Constant Relocation Costs
It’s not uncommon for military families to be relocated from time to time because servicemen and servicewomen can be assigned from one location to another. The cost involved in these relocations can significantly affect the family’s financial situation. For instance, relocation to a city that has a higher cost of living can deplete the family’s savings.
- Payday Loans
When worse comes to worst, some military families may opt to take out payday loans to meet their day-to-day needs. This could cripple military families even more because the high-interest rates would only bury them deeper in debt.
