Struggling with debt is bad enough – whether you’re a veteran or are about to transition into civilian life – but when you’re actively deployed, it can threaten your job status.
Debt can also get in the way of civilian employment opportunities for military spouses, making it difficult to provide the additional income necessary to manage the home front.
If you’re among those who feel what they’ve already achieved may be in danger due to their financial issues, there is a place you can turn to for help.
At Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Rochester, we recognize that the ever-changing nature of military life can create and foster difficult and dangerous financial cycles. In fact, military participants surveyed after enrolling in NFCC®’s Sharpen Your Financial Focus™ program were found to have fewer tangible assets (16.2% less than the overall program participant average) and a higher level of unsecured debt (7.1% higher than the average program participant) according to The Ohio State University data.
When you make the call to CCCS of Rochester, an NFCC member agency, you gain access to certified financial professionals who understand your circumstances and needs. Programs like our Hands on Banking® for the Military, offered by Wells Fargo and NFCC, specifically provide education and assistance to keep families on track for achieving and maintaining financial stability through all stages of their military lives.
