management, use of credit, and indebtedness.
The consumer debt of the United States is the
amount Americans borrow for large purchases, such as
cars, stereos, appliances, and furniture. The consumer
debt also includes revolving credit (which is a type of
loan), such as credit cards. This debt keeps spiraling up
(getting larger). Repayment of consumer loans slices
more then a quarter of every dollar a wage earner takes
home. You are probably no exception.
As a young service member, your take-home pay
may be less than the national average. You should learn
to plan your finances so you can balance your income,
savings, and spending.
The following section on personal financial
management gives you information you can use. Paying
attention to this information will help you manage your
money.
MONEY MANAGEMENT
Managing money can be hard to do. You will
probably have checking and savings accounts, have
allotments, and keep some cash to spend. There are
advantages and disadvantages to each of these.
