7 SIMPLE Steps That Made Me a Millionaire in the Military

Hosted by: David Pere
Episode Type: Personal Finance, Wealth Building
Length: ~16 minutes
Watch on YouTube: 7 SIMPLE Steps That Made Me a Millionaire in the Military

💥 What This Episode Covers:

Marine Corps veteran and real estate investor David Pere breaks down the exact seven steps he followed to go from broke E-2 to millionaire—all while still active duty.

This episode is your blueprint if you:

Are new to the military and want to use it as a launchpad for wealth
Feel stuck financially and want a practical, no-fluff roadmap
Want to use benefits like the VA loan and TSP to build long-term freedom

🧩 The 7 Steps to Military Wealth:

1. Get Promoted Early & Often
Max out your promotion points (PT, education, MOS performance). Promotions = pay raises without more hours worked.

2. Max Out Your TSP (Thrift Savings Plan)
Invest early—preferably Roth—and leverage the BRS match. David breaks down fund options and recommends Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins.

3. Build an Emergency Fund
Start with one month of expenses, then aim for 6 months. Dry powder beats credit card reliance every time.

4. Eliminate Bad Debt & Build Credit
Pay off consumer debt and establish credit history with small, manageable usage. A strong score opens doors in real estate and business.

5. Use the VA Loan to House Hack
Buy a duplex, triplex, or a single-family home with roommates. Let BAH and rent from others cover your mortgage = live for free.

6. Actually Use Your Military Benefits
From the SCRA to tuition assistance to the GI Bill—these are valuable tools. David shares hacks like the waived AMEX fees and $117k adaptive housing grant for disabled vets.

7. (Bonus) Start a Business
If you’re inclined, document your journey, blog, consult, or launch a side hustle. David built From Military to Millionaire while still in uniform.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

You can absolutely get rich in the military—with just your service pay and smart choices.
Most service members delay action and miss out on years of compounding.
Discipline + access to free housing, tax-advantaged income, and government benefits = the ultimate wealth-building combo.
Don’t wait 7 years to start like David did—start now, even if you’re just checking into boot camp.

Trump Just Changed EVERYTHING for Disabled Veterans!

Trump Just Changed EVERYTHING for Disabled Veterans!

Hosted by: David Pere
Episode Type: VA Policy Breakdown, Commentary
Length: ~10 minutes
Watch on YouTube: Trump Just Changed EVERYTHING for Disabled Veterans!

🧠 What This Episode Covers:

In this urgent breakdown, David dives into President Trump’s latest executive order that’s shaking up the VA system and could mean massive improvements for homeless and disabled veterans — especially those in Los Angeles.

What you’ll learn:

📜 The real story behind the West LA VA campus and its 100-year-old promise to house disabled veterans
🏚️ How 10% of the nation’s homeless veterans ended up in Los Angeles—and why that matters
💸 Why federal funds formerly allocated to illegal immigration will now be redirected to the new National Center for Warrior Independence
🧾 The accountability measures being implemented to clean up VA misconduct and rehiring issues
🕰️ Specific policy shifts: expanded hours, weekend access, virtual appointments, and faster referrals
🏘️ The role of HUD and the VASH voucher program in scaling housing for veterans
🏥 Why New Hampshire might finally get its first full-service VA medical facility

🔍 Key Takeaways:

Restoring VA Property: Land originally donated for disabled veterans in LA is being reclaimed and reoriented toward its intended use.
No Extra Spending: Funds are being reallocated—not increased—by cutting budget from illegal immigration aid.
6,000 Veteran Housing Goal: The Warrior Independence Center aims to house and rehabilitate up to 6,000 vets by 2028.
VASH Vouchers Expansion: These Section 8-style vouchers for vets could dramatically increase housing access.
Nationwide Impact: New legislation might finally give every U.S. state a full VA hospital.

⚠️ Real Talk:

David addresses political fearmongering and misinformation head-on. Whether you lean red or blue, he urges listeners to look past the headlines and focus on real veteran impact.

“Nobody is coming to strip your VA benefits. That would be political suicide.”

🪖 Bottom Line:

The U.S. has the best veteran benefits system in the world, but it’s not perfect. This executive order represents a push toward accountability, faster service, and real support for those who served.
