Hey, I'm Spencer. I'm an Air Force veteran who achieved financial independence by age 35.

I wrote the book on how to achieve financial independence in the military:

The Military Money Manual:
A Practical Guide to Financial Freedom

The Military Money Manual hardcover book

This is the book I wish someone had handed me on my first day in the military. Don't make the same mistakes I did on the road to financial independence!

You can achieve FI in the military. This is the book that shows you how. Available as an ebook, hard cover, or audiobook.

I host the Military Money Manual Podcast and teach the Ultimate Military Credit Cards Course.

My wife and I used credit cards to earn $10,000s in free airfare, hotels, and travel. We paid no annual fees on our cards, thanks to my active duty military status.

I started the Ultimate Military Credit Cards Course to help military servicemembers and military spouses find the best military credit cards, like the the American Express Platinum Card® and the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card.

Over 21,000 military folks like you have graduated the free course. They successfully opened their first annual fee waived ultra premium luxury travel rewards card. Join us and get your first annual fee waived today.

You can sign up for the beginner's credit card course here. It's 100% free, unsubscribe at anytime, and I promise to never spam you.
