Marketplace Money, a personal finance radio program produced and distributed by American Public Media, will devote an entire show to the financial challenges facing military personnel and their families. "Debt of Service: Personal Finance in the Military" will air on public radio stations nationwide during the weekend of February 20.
"All of us are dealing with tough financial choices because of the economic crisis," says Tess Vigeland, host of Marketplace Money. "Members of the armed forces face many of those same issues. But they're also dealing with deployments that can affect all areas of their financial lives. And that goes for their family members as well. We felt it was important to focus an entire hour on some of those specific challenges."
Support for "Debt of Service: Personal Finance in the Military" is provided by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation. Check local radio listings for stations and times, or go to www.marketplace.org.
