November is National Military Family Month

Thursday, November 03, 2022 | 12:22pm

The Tennessee Securities Division is dedicated to ensuring our great nation’s service members and their families have the resources they need to increase and further enhance their financial stability.

That’s why we’re proud to share that November is National Military Family Month!

Military families are vital to Tennessee’s economy, and this month serves as a fantastic opportunity to remind service members and their families of the importance of financial stability.

We encourage you to use this time to create a strong financial plan or review an existing one. For tips on creating (or tweaking) a monthly budget, visit our blog from Financial Awareness Day.

The Securities Division is also a regular sponsor of Military Saves Month, an initiative of America Saves and the Consumer Federation of America.

"The work of Military Saves is to encourage the entire military community, including military families and veterans, to save, as we believe that financial readiness is mission readiness,” says Angela Caban, director of Military Saves.
