Milspouse Matters Episode 38 with Mark Steffe
Welcome to episode 38 of Milspouse Matters! On this episode, I’m talking to Mark Steffe from First Command, who’s sharing some very practical financial and money-saving tips for military families. He talks about ways to stay on track with your financial goals, even during this historic time of job losses and furloughs due to the coronavirus pandemic.
