At this point, I didn't have a plan for the future.
I'd only been in the Army a few months.
My biggest concern was probably just getting through training.
And, judging by the Christmas "run" outfit, I clearly had other things to worry about too.
I certainly wasn't thinking about property.
I wasn't thinking about life after the Forces.
And I definitely wasn't thinking about what I'd want my finances to look like 10 or 15 years later.
Looking back, I wish I'd started thinking about it sooner.
Not because I should have known exactly what I wanted to do.
I couldn't possibly have known.
But I could have started creating options.
That's one of the things I wish someone had explained to me when I was serving:
You don't need to know where you're going to start preparing for where you might end up.
That's a big part of the conversation I now want to give to serving personnel.
It's also why I created my free on-demand webinar.
The conversation I wish I'd had while I was still serving.
