Enjoy this edition of “Military Personal Finance Articles You Should Read.” This blog entry only serves to summarize some of the previous week’s best personal finance articles, blog posts, and other content from a variety of sources so that you don’t have to. The intent isn’t for you to read every single article (although you’re a superstar if you do), but it’s to curate a lot of content into one easily digestible article that allows you to pick and choose the content you want.

From there, we have a couple of Q&A articles on estate planning, including:
We also have tips on talking with your insurance company after a car accident (I once had to advise someone to stop talking when he rear-ended me at a stop light, since wanted to go on and on about how he’d been meaning to get his brakes fixed and never got around to it).
From our military personal financial bloggers, we have:
- Doug Nordman’s article on portable careers for military spouses
