In Round 91 of the Tactical Transition Tips on the Transition Drill Podcast, life after service comes with a hidden price tag. Military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and EMS professionals often underestimate the financial shock of transition. In this episode of the Transition Drill Podcast, we uncover the “hidden costs” and break down how to prepare no matter where you are on your timeline. From immediate expenses to building generational wealth, this conversation brings clarity to one of the most overlooked aspects of transition.

Tips Covered in This Episode:

• Close Range Group (Immediate to 1 year out): The Immediate Cost of Transition – Save what you can, but know the costs of the civilian side so that you can prepare for them.

• Medium Range Group (About 5 years out): Create a Transition Buffer Fund – Save at least six months to one year of living expenses to gain leverage and confidence during salary negotiations and job shifts.

• Long Range Group (10 years or more out): Establish a Legacy Savings – Automate direct deposits into long-term investments to build generational wealth and prepare your family for life after service.
