The Money Mavens Have a Few New Members

I was recently invited to join a group of personal finance bloggers who are in a network known as The Money Mavens.

What will change here at The Military Wallet? Nothing. Well, I will introduce you to more of their great writing, and we may exchange a few guest articles from time to time, but the content here at The Military Wallet will otherwise remain unaffected.

Who are the Money Mavens?

Here is an introduction to each of the member sites, with a link to one of their recent articles.

Rather than allow those realities to diminish our joy in life, Neal feels we should learn to accept them and find joy in those limitations. Neal writes about finding this balance on his blog Wealth Pilgrim.
