Last week when I launched my current promotion for Military Spouses and shared it on Twitter, I received a DM asking what did I know about Taffy Wagner.  Needless to say, that made me stop and think. Military Spouses might not know anything about Taffy Wagner. Hence this blog post.

Taffy Wagner is a veteran of the United States Armed Forces. When she enlisted,  she had only graduated from high school a few short months prior. Her experience with money was very limited having grown up in a single parent household.

This was her chance to have more options for career, college and employment. There she was enlisted and moving away from home for the first time making a statement that most did not believe she would make because she was the youngest child.

Striking out on her own, she did not not do that bad. Joined the service, learned a skill and was receiving early promotions. Since she initially did not have a car, one of her biggest expenses was her phone bill. Taffy called home a lot because of her close relationship with her family. Mind you she was not home sick, but her ties with her family were deep.

During her first term of enlistment, she saw friends come and go. Reassignment, temporary duty assignments and short assignments to Korea and Japan. She experienced reconnecting with people several years later. She re-enlisted for a second term to accomplish all of her goals that she had set for herself.

Financial challenges she faced during her enlistment was emergency car repairs, learned about automatic deductions and had one or two credit cards. After separation within fifteen months, had unmanageable debt. So this is a veteran of the United Armed Forces that knows about money management, cleaning up credit and starting over.

Be sure and view her current promotion to assist military spouses:
