The Blended Retirement System is coming and we’re talking all about it with the CEO of First Command and one of their financial advisors, who just happens to be a military spouse. We also talk about Jessica’s trip to France (*eye roll*) and why Tricare can be the worst.
This Week’s Guests: Scott Spiker and Katy Stevick, First Command
Scott Spiker is the Chairman and CEO of First Command Financial Services. A 1977 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Scott holds an MBA in Marketing and Finance from the University of Chicago Booth Graduate School of Business. He is married and has two daughters.
Army spouse and First Command Financial Advisor Katy Stevick has lead the Milspo Project Fayetteville Chapter, served as an ambassador for the Greater Fayetteville Chamber and is a member of the Association of Bragg Spouses. She is also a former FRG leader within the 82nd Airborne Division. She joined First Command in 2014.
Scott recently wrote the new Blended Retirement System requires financial planning in a guest post on NextGen MilSpouse.
In episode 61, we talk with Scott and Katy about the new military retirement system and what military families should be thinking about today to plan for the new system starting on Jan. 1.
