What job do you want (or now have, for those already retired) when you retire (from the military)?

Beach Bum, maybe a field rep for Cheech and Chong...lol

My wife and I are saving to buy an RV park with a few cabins and camping sites on the water. We want to work for ourselves in our old age. I plan to run around in a golf cart in my overalls with a big cigar hanging from my lips. My wife claims I will scare all the customers away.

As a financial coach and author, I teach people that our profession is a Soldier, but that we need to mind our own business (U Inc.). I recommend ensuring your skills/experience will translate to life after the Military. From day one, you should start creating a civilian resume and keep updating as your skills/education & exerpeince grows.


I strongly encourage starting a side business, which can create leveraged unearned income that will grow to replace your income.

I've started a non-profit to equip our Military to kill debt & create wealth, so that will be my job when I retire this year.
