DCUC-Sponsored GUIDES TAILORED FOR THE MILITARY LifeCYcle
Your credit union can use financial education to become the top-of-wallet provider to your on-base community.
It starts by convincing the installation command of the impact of financial security on service member performance and morale and demonstrating how your educational outreach can be seamlessly integrated into military programs and community activities. A successful program can help ensure that your credit union is front and center when service members are making key financial decisions about loans, account services, and retirement and education savings.
Lightbulb has collaborated with DCUC on other popular guides for the military, all of which are available in print and digital formats.
Armed Forces Financial Guide is a comprehensive resource that provides guidance on money management and financial planning through each stage of the military lifecycle, from enlistment and promotion to separation or retirement. It provides essential information on military benefits, personal finance and retirement planning, transitioning from active duty to civilian life, and veterans programs.
Blended Retirement System: Guide to Military Retirement explains the Department of Defense’s retirement system, which combines a pension with a tax-deferred Thrift Savings Plan. The book provides key information on the plan, and includes helpful background information on how to save and invest to create a secure financial future in retirement.
A Salute to Smart Investing explains the keys to financial success, whether you’re just getting started or a more experienced investor. It provides an overview of savings, using credit wisely, basic investing strategies, common types and warning signs of fraud.
SPANISH-LANGUAGE EDITIONS
Spanish language editions of our military guides can also be customized for your credit union.
