Episode 227 Financial Readiness Throughout A Military Career

In this week’s episode, I sit down with retired Brigadier General Mike and his wife Ramona for a candid, heartfelt conversation about their 32-year Army journey. From multiple combat deployments to countless PCS moves and raising a family across continents, they openly share how they navigated the challenges of separations, kept their marriage strong, and made smart financial choices that let them truly enjoy the ride instead of just enduring it. Mike’s unique perspective—from leading soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Bosnia to teaching the next generation of officers at West Point—blends with Ramona’s real-life insights as the spouse who held everything together at home. Whether you’re facing your first deployment, planning your tenth move, or simply want to understand how some military families come out thriving, this episode is packed with practical wisdom, proven strategies, and quiet lessons in resilience that anyone can use. You’ll finish feeling both inspired and better equipped for your own life adventure.
