Navigating PCS Chaos, Saving Money, and Finding Adventure! PCSing is a constant in military life, often bringing stress, extra costs, and confusion. But it doesn't have to be a nightmare! In this episode, we dive deep into practical tips and strategies to help you survive your next Permanent Change of Station (PCS), save money, and maybe even make it an adventure. We cover everything from getting your paperwork in order to leveraging financial benefits and preparing your family for the journey. In this episode, we discuss key strategies for managing your PCS: Getting Organized & Paperwork: The importance of physical binders and electronic backups for documents. Tips for outprocessing checklists and hand-carrying essential items like orders, Power of Attorneys, birth certificates, passports, and social security cards. Keep vital documents separate from movers. Financially Preparing: The crucial need to start saving cash early for unreimbursed expenses. Access to liquid money helps with stress management and avoiding debt. Cutting expenses is the first step to saving. Understanding Financial Benefits: Dislocation Allowance (DLA): An entitlement can be taken as an advance upfront (not a loan). Rates vary by pay grade and dependents (e.g., O-5 w/ dependents $5,339, E-4 w/ dependents $3,400 in 2025). PCS Pay Advance: Option for up to one month's base pay, interest-free, paid back over 12 months. A tool for necessary situations, better than high-interest loans. Moving Your Stuff (HHG government move vs. PPM): Options include full government shipment (through TMO) or the Personally Procured Move (PPM). A partial PPM is recommended for conus moves to get paid for weight in your car. A full PPM offers significant profit potential by paying you the government's cost (examples mentioned: Jamie's $14,000 profit in 2023, and potential $10,000 profit in 2025). Challenge misinformation about PPM rules by referencing the JTR. Temporary Living Expenses (TLE) & Temporary Living Allowance (TLA): TLE (CONUS to CONUS, CONUS to OCONUS, or OCONUS to CONUS variants): Max $290/day, limited to 21 days, can be split between old and new PDS. Can be used for M&IE even when staying with family/friends. TLA (OCONUS): Up to 60 days upon arrival, 10 days upon departure. Covers lodging plus M&IE. Reference the JTR due to common misinformation. Prioritize minimizing stress over maximizing per diem. Preparing Your Family: Frame the move as an adventure. Acknowledge feelings (sadness, excitement) for everyone. Involve older kids in packing. Remember it's a team effort. Decluttering: Less stuff makes moving easier, especially with PPM. Reduces mental stress. Try methods like the hanger trick, Marie Kondo ("spark joy"), or the "poop test" for toys. Holding a garage sale can generate extra cash. Smart Travel & Leave: Explore circuitous travel or taking leave en route by getting it on your orders. PCS is a prime opportunity to take leave between assignments. Can take leave before departing or upon arrival. Understand BH timing. Inventory & Support: Video and photograph your belongings for inventory in case of loss or damage. You are not alone. Lean on your support network, friends, family, or sponsor for help.

Why Saving Money Feels Hard (And How to Make It Easy) Ever check your bank balance and think, Wait—where did all my money go?! One minute, payday hits, and the next, your hard-earned cash has vanished—eaten up by bills, surprise expenses, and everyday spending. It's like your money is playing hide and seek… and winning. But here's the good news: saving money doesn't have to feel impossible. You don't need to overhaul your lifestyle, live on instant noodles, or give up everything fun. A few smart tweaks can turn saving from a dreaded chore into something effortless—maybe even a little exciting. Let's break it down. Why an Emergency Fund is a Game-Changer Life has a knack for throwing expensive surprises your way—your car breaks down, a medical bill pops up, or your fridge decides to call it quits. Without a financial cushion, these moments can turn into full-blown crises, leaving you scrambling for a solution. That's where an emergency fund comes in. Think of it as a financial safety net. Instead of reaching for a credit card, borrowing money, or selling investments at the worst possible time, you can handle unexpected expenses stress-free. No panic, no debt—just peace of mind. How Much Should You Save? Think of your emergency fund like a financial airbag—you hope you never need it, but you'll be glad it's there. Here's a good rule of thumb: Steady paycheck? Aim for at least three months' worth of expenses. Self-employed or income varies? Six months is a safer bet. Retired? Keeping up to a year's worth of expenses in cash can help you avoid selling investments during a market downturn. And don't stress about saving it all at once. Start small, set aside what you can each month, and watch it grow. Where to Keep Your Emergency Fund Not under your mattress, that's for sure. And not in a checking account earning zero percent interest, either. The goal is to keep it safe, accessible, and ideally, earning a little something. If your expenses are in dollars, a U.S. money market fund could be a great option. Some are even insured, similar to FDIC-backed bank accounts. Unlike a regular checking account, which earns almost nothing, money market funds often provide a variable return, so be sure to check with a financial professional to understand the risks and details. If you need shekels, Israeli banks may not offer great interest on regular accounts, but some allow you to lock your money for short periods (daily, weekly, or monthly) to earn a little extra. Even a small return is better than letting your money sit idle. Beyond the Emergency Fund: Making Your Money Work for You An emergency fund is your financial safety net, but long-term security requires more than just stashing away cash. At some point, you'll want to stop working—or at least have the option to stop. Many people assume that between Social Security (U.S.), Bituach Leumi (Israel), and their pension, they'll be fine. But the reality? Those sources often fall short. To maintain your lifestyle in retirement, you need investments that grow over time. Building an Investment Portfolio Investing can feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to be complicated. A broad, diversified portfolio—such as an index fund tracking the S&P 500—can be a straightforward way to grow wealth over time. Others prefer a mix of stocks, bonds, or managed portfolios tailored to their goals and risk tolerance. The key is consistency. Even small contributions, made regularly, can grow significantly over time. And while markets fluctuate, history suggests that long-term investors tend to fare better than those who sit on the sidelines. Important note: Investing involves risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Always consult a licensed financial advisor to determine what strategy makes sense for your situation. Plugging the Financial Leaks: Where is Your Money Going? You might think you have your spending under control, but when you actually track where your money is going, the results can be surprising. Many people waste thousands each year without realizing it—on subscriptions they don't use, high-fee services, and impulse spending. A quick self-check: Are you paying for things you don't actually use (streaming services, gym memberships, premium banking fees)? Do you regularly eat out or order takeout but can't seem to save for bigger goals? Are you overspending on insurance or other recurring expenses without shopping around for better rates? You don't have to cut everything fun out of your life—you just need to be intentional about where your money goes. A simple spending review can help you redirect money from waste to wealth-building. The Secret to Saving More Without Thinking About It One of the easiest ways to build wealth? Automate your savings. Set up an automatic transfer so that every month, a portion of your paycheck goes straight into savings before you have a chance to spend it. You can do this with your emergency fund, investment accounts, or even a retirement account. The less you have to think about saving, the more likely you are to actually do it. Over time, those small amounts add up in a big way. Small Changes, Big Impact Financial security isn't about being rich—it's about being prepared. An emergency fund gives you the freedom to handle life's unexpected expenses without stress, turning financial shocks into minor inconveniences. Investing wisely allows your money to grow over time, so you're not just stashing cash but actually building long-term wealth. At the same time, cutting out unnecessary expenses doesn't mean giving up what you love—it means making sure your money is working toward what truly matters. The easiest way to stay on track? Automate your savings. When saving happens in the background, it becomes effortless—and over time, those small, consistent contributions can add up to real financial security.

Finding contentment with what you already have can be a powerful tool for financial success. In this episode, we dive into the connection between gratitude and money habits, exploring how emotional spending often stems from a lack of fulfillment. When we focus on appreciating what we have, we reduce impulse purchases, avoid lifestyle creep, and ultimately build a healthier financial mindset. We'll also discuss practical steps to cultivate gratitude, from mindful spending habits to journaling, and how these small shifts can lead to big financial wins. Hosting Today: I'm Ashley Patrick, ex detective turned debt-free CEO of my very own business and stay at home mom of three. Not too long ago, my dreams of staying at home with my kids seemed impossible. I thought I'd have to stay miserable in a high stress demanding job, just so I could retire someday. After gaining the confidence in my own ability to manage my family's finances and a simple step-by-step plan to make it happen, I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months, which then allowed me to finally quit my job, stay at home with my kids, and build a debt-free business. Now, my mission is to help moms like you conquer debt and free themselves from the mental load of handling their family's finances. “Remember, what we do with our money when it comes to reaching our big goals really boils down to being mindful of our actions and intentions, making sure they line up, and ensuring that you are actually doing what you truly want to do.” - Ashley Patrick For easy step by step directions and worksheets on getting your budget together and done in 30 minutes a month, download my FREE Budget Starter Kit on www.budgetsmadeeasy.com/start And if you enjoyed the podcast today and got some great takeaways, I'd really appreciate it if you followed the Money Mindset Podcast so you don't miss out on future episodes Resources and Links Mentioned: * Budget Starter Kit: www.budgetsmadeeasy.com/start Connect with Ashley: * Instagram: www.instagram.com/budgetsmadeeasy
