- WalletHub found that 75% of people think the military does not do enough to teach financial literacy. Do you agree? If so, why do you think that is, and what can be done to fix the problem?
- Do you agree with the 41% of people who think poor financial literacy among military personnel is a threat to national security?
- Do military families experience more financial stress than the average family? Is there anything in particular that military families can do to lighten the load?
- Should banks and credit unions defer interest charges for military members deployed to a war zone? Should they go even further and defer payments altogether?
