Sometimes the best posts are about where to get the best information. This post is about the best military member finance websites. Some are official government sites and some are privately-owned websites like www.blendedretirementsystem.com
Thrift Savings Plan ( https://www.tsp.gov/index.html )
The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) website should be the first stop for military members regarding the Blended Retirement System (BRS). The BRS mechanism is the TSP and if you have not set up your TSP, know your contribution levels, which funds you are in, etc. you are not setting yourself up for success.
Defense Finance & Accounting Service ( https://www.dfas.mil/ )
The DFAS is the website you can go to for reviewing pay scales, tax documents, ask financial focused questions, and many other small but useful services. You can also access several other websites from here such as MyPay and others.
MilitaryOneSource (https://www.militaryonesource.mil/financial-legal)
A Defense Department website that provides links and resources around everything from BRS planning to tax filing.
Military.com ( https://www.military.com/money )
A non-government website that provides excellent resources and articles around military finance topics ranging from estate planning to filing taxes while deployed.
Military Wallet ( https://themilitarywallet.com/ )
A non-government website that provides articles and resource links along with podcasts and discount codes to a variety of services. Overall all a good website for a lot of the resources DoD members need.
