Even if you plan to make the military a career, don't assume that you military retired pay and Social Security will be enough to meet your needs.

Saving $250 a month at age 25 will yield approximately $872,000 at age 65 with an 8 percent return. Waiting until age 45 to start saving yields only $147,000 at age 65 - a $725,000 difference!
