The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve marks 110 years of service, built on a legacy of honor, courage, and commitment.

Today, we celebrate their contributions and thank them for their enduring service to our country.

When you’re deployed, every part of your pay matters.

Take a few minutes to review your Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) so you fully understand what your combat pay includes and how it adds up.

👉 Share this with someone who could benefit from a quick refresher.

Did you know that military consumers reported losing $684 million to scams and fraud last year?

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), scammers often target servicemembers, veterans, and their families through phishing emails, fake benefit offers, and imposter scams designed to steal personal and financial information.

One of the best defenses is to protect your PII. Before sharing sensitive information, take a moment to verify who is asking and why.

The FTC offers a simple reminder: spot scams, avoid scams, and report scams.

Military spouses take on so much during deployment, and understanding the benefits available to you can make a real difference.

From financial protections to support programs, having clarity helps your family stay confident and prepared through every stage of deployment.

Take a moment to explore the benefits and resources available to you.

New Post, New Routine, Where Do You Start?

Spent part of the weekend at Fort Leavenworth for PAIR Day — Post Activities, Information and Registration — connecting with service members and families as they settle into the community.

Settling into a new post can take time, especially for military families adjusting to new routines, resources, and a new community. Having people who understand the military lifestyle and can offer practical financial guidance can help make the transition smoother and give families one less thing to figure out on their own.

Enjoyed working alongside my colleague, Angie Re*****on. She’s always a great partner for financial education presentations and networking events. If you’re new to the area or still getting settled, let’s connect. We’re here to help you make the most of your next chapter.

When was the last time you invested in your financial wellness?

It’s National Wellness Month and time to consider that wellness goes beyond exercise and healthy habits. Your financial well-being plays a role, too.

Preparing for retirement, navigating life’s transitions, or working toward a major financial goal all benefit from having a strategy that reflects your priorities.

Take the time to check in on your financial well-being. Giving your finances some attention can be another step toward feeling your best.

Portfoliomaxxing but make it strategic.

Maximizing your portfolio means keeping it aligned with your goals, risk tolerance, and long-term strategy. While markets move, your allocations may drift. A portfolio review can help determine if it’s time to rebalance and get things back on track.
