Welcome to the Money Spouse

Have fun exploring the site and you will find valuable, straight forward information for you and your family in navigating your financial lives while serving our country. Check back often as new articles are posted frequently.
I am Christy Raines, pictured to the right with my husband, Chris. I am an active duty military spouse and an independent, fee-based, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. I also happen to know a lot about the nuances of military finances and the related financial challenges and opportunities.
I write a monthly column called The Money Spouse and I have archived those articles here. Every month I address a new topic, provide a helpful piece of advice you may not be aware of that can improve your family's financial life and make you a more informed military spouse.
If you are interested in contacting Christy, please email me.
