The online survey of approximately 250 military families inquired about family, financial, and lifestyle issues. The results were surprising, improving in some areas and falling in others compared to one year ago.

Highlights include:

  • 75% of respondents said lack of long-term savings is their biggest concern
  • Nearly 8 out of 10 are spending the same or more than last year
  • 72% are worried about future deployments (an 18% increase over 2018)
  • 1 in 3 % do not expect their spouse to still be serving in two years (30% say this is a result of changes in retirement/benefits)
  • 33% say mental/emotional stress is their biggest relationship strain
  • 20% have more credit card debt than 12 months ago. 1 in 5 have more than $10,000 in credit card debt
