Military Retirement Planning

Ryan Guina of The Military Wallet offers a great article on the opportunities for former military servicemen to capitalize their savings during retirement. Because former military men and women have the opportunity to earn income both from a military pension and a pension in the workforce (in addition to any personal savings accrued), the opportunity to double dip and live a nice during the twilight years hopefully exists for men and women who gave so much to this country during their youth. Like with all retirement plans, it's difficult to come up with a one-size-fits-all approach to military retirement planning, but there are some universal rules that can be helpful in determining what to expect annually from your pensions and retirement savings. I have limited knowledge on the benefits that are particular to servicemen, and I would highly suggest checking out Mr. Guina's post to get a handle on the general opportunities that servicemen should take advantage of during retirement, link here: http://themilitarywallet.com/military-retirement-planning/ .
