The Military Money Manual: A Practical Guide to Financial Freedom
Spencer C. Reese · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Chris Roman
74/100
👍 Worth It
This is a genuinely useful, tightly targeted guide if you're active-duty or a veteran — Reese knows the TSP and military-only perks cold, and backs his advice with real research like the Trinity Study instead of just opinion. The narration is a good match, conversational and guide-like, easy to sit with. Worth the listen if military finance is your world; the value is almost entirely in those niche specifics.
