1st of all I would like to let you know that your article is true about how soldiers waste there money while deployed cause I used to be one of them on my first deployment in Iraq 05-06. Back then I was single now that I’m married with two kids and currently deployed to Afghanistan I’m pretty sure that I wont make the same mistake I did on my last deployment. But my problem right now is that the wife is going on a shopping spree time to time and I keep telling her that we need to secure our finance for the future and in respond to that is “ok babe I will” but she does it again. Do you have any idea on how to convince the wife? I mean I love her to death but I cant get through her thick skull! lol
