How you spend your money, time?

I'm surprised that most BDCPers arent using they're paycheck to pay off school. I know as soon as i make it into NUPOC (knock on wood) my 15k bonus plus my E-6 pay will be going straight to pay my 60k worth of loans off.

School is already paid for by combination of florida prepaid and grants from the guvahment.

Oh and I just bought a set of leather seats for my Jeep.

Silly wannabe... It's "hookers and blow" in that order...

Don't worry I am, one of the many benefits of a private school education...the price :icon_craz...

I would have thought me getting a full-ride NROTC scholarship was the best deal out there, but this BDCP thing might have it beat. They really need to increase the $400 a month stipend for 1/C mids, freaking 4/C only make like $250. I know the AF cadets had their stipends adjusted for inflation. But ah whatever, I'm commissioned now.

BDCP doesn't pay for tuition does it?

Hey guys,

The forum is getting a little slow lately, so I figured I'd bring up a topic that future-BDCPers, and myself, a recent BDCPer, would like to talk about.

How do you guys spend your money--cars, booze, women, travel, all of the above...

I don't know what I want to do with my money, and how/where to invest what is left over.

Feel free to stray from the topic, just wanted to get people more involved, and hopefully keep the new guys coming back..

Three kids in college, and a house.

Negative, but in my case my finacial aid went through the roof so I can pay back my loans now and buy some nice toys for myself.

Start investing a fixed amount on a regular basis. Investing early, especially now when stuff is cheap and you can afford a long wait, will payoff big time in the future.

Set up the TSP last month, planning to set up a Roth IRA this summer.
