[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Enlisting at 18, without any college, is probably the least financially sound option there is. The pay is low, housing is awful, and chances are good your DC is going to blow their paycheck on a sports car and/or hasty marriage. [/quote] The pay is low, but you also have zero expenses. Food, housing, and healthcare are all covered, most states waive state income tax. So long as you don’t do anything dumb like the sports car or shotgun wedding, it’s an excellent financial decision. You can save nearly all your earnings AND get college paid for. [/quote] Food is not covered. But yes, if you are otherwise responsible about your life choices until you climb the ranks or get out and use your education benefits, it’s a fantastic opportunity to change your life for the better.
