GI Bill secrets that put veterans ahead financially

Think college is the only path to wealth? Think again. On this week’s episode of Warrior Money, hosts Patrick Murphy and Dan Kunze break down why the GI Bill isn’t just an education benefit; it’s a financial launchpad that can set veterans and their families up for lifelong success. Drawing on their experiences as first-generation college grads and service members, they reveal how the GI Bill helps veterans dodge student debt, unlock lucrative careers, and even pass benefits down to their kids. The hosts bust myths about who’s college material, dig into real numbers showing veterans out-earning their civilian peers, and explain how leveraging military benefits from housing stipends to trade apprenticeships can help you build real wealth, regardless of your background or ambitions. Yahoo Finance's Warrior Money, hosted by former Congressman Patrick Murphy and veteran investor Dan Kunze, is dedicated to uplifting the financial well-being of military veterans transitioning into civilian life. Each week, guests—from everyday vets to high-ranking government officials—offer insight on successfully transitioning from service to business. Thoughts? Questions? Fan mail?
