Hi,
We're writing a guide for Soldier magazine on money-saving tips for soldiers.
Obviously we would like to make sure the content is as useful for people as possible, so I was really interested to know ...
1) What are the three biggest money issues you're interested in? For example, savings, council tax, gas & electricity or motoring, life insurance and flights.
2) What's your favourite armed forces discount/s?
Thanks very much for your help

The "everyday" discounts, ie those on the high street.
Most Service punters have no idea about what we could use most often, not just the big stuff (Apple et al). So what about Costa, Mcdonalds, BK, shopping, eating etc.0 -
Why is it a must if you're single?
On death all your debts will be paid out of what is in your bank account.
However if your in an accident and you lose your eyesight, whos going to support you. Life insurance should also help.
I know when your single and/or young you dont think about these things, I know I didnt.Proud to have dealt with our debtsStarting debt 2005 £65.7K.
