that's combined. and if you are in the reserve or guard, it's different. If you have a full time job and get called to active duty, some companies pay you a full salary. So on top of you normal 9-5 salary, you get a basic salary plus other allowance from the military, you can actually make quite a bit in a year. Plus if you go on travel orders, you get per diem on top of all that and food is covered.... you get paid if you claim a dependent. So yeah. we aren't necessarily broke in the military. The tax benefits are huge as well in some cases.
A real middle class family and they are not social media financial guru influencers? WOW! this is such a treat, thank you CNBC for showing real people.
Being an officer in the military is such a plus ans way to get ahead in life especially if you come from a lower middle class to poor class, good for them!
@@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIl-v9h Actually officers just get more base pay. I was enlisted and now I am a Chief in the Army and yes, more money, but the BAH (housing allowance) is about the same, BAS (Allowance for food) is a little higher, and Clothing Allowance is lower as an officer than enlisted. There is no transportation allowance, but we do get paid for military travel the exact same as enlisted would. I make six figures as a mid level Chief Warrant Officer, but it came after a long grind.
They could be officers and could have started at 17 (like military reserves with their parents agreeing) before going full-time military (with a side of paper work) once finishing school.
Officers make substantially more than the enlisted. If you have your bachelors degree it's almost a done deal that if you make it through a couple of enlistments you'll get six figures easy.
They are both Captains and could be senior Captains or prior enlisted; increasing their pay but their allowances and incentive pay has increased their joint income.
Like other people have mentioned they are military officers but they also get housing allowance from the government and more money for having a child. They also get free health care and free food in base. They literally have a free ticket unlike non military people where we have to pay for everything from our own salary. A military person can make 40k and a non military can make 70k but the military person will end up having more money saved and more buying power. I did 4 years and saved 100 k.
I’m glad members of the military can be so well paid. We need more young people like myself seeing this as a viable career path. Rooting for all 3 of them.
Take this witha grain of salt, military pay are mostly based off of where you're station... and in this case they get station in California which is one of the most expensive cost of living state. If they were station let say Oaklahoma or Louisiana, they wouldn't be making what they're making now like in California.
2 things you must consider, officer and California. not to mention years of service, both captains with likely 6-7 + years of experience. they are maxed out on the pay scale due to location too.
If youre an officer in the military, you're big chilling... Especially officer to officer... you're even BIGGER CHILLING. Source: I'm a 6 year Air Force Veteran, and I see first hand from people I have met and talked to... ALSO, military pay are public information... you literally can google how much each rank and time in service get pay... it nothing confidential or secret like civilian jobs. Yall also have to take this with a grain of salt, the magnitude of military pay are based off of where you're station... and in this case they got stationed in California which is one of the most expensive cost of living state. If they were station somewhere with much cheaper cost of living let say Oaklahoma or Louisiana, Texas, they wouldn't be making what they're making now like in California. Majority of their pay comes from the massive BAH (basic allowance housing) that they getting $6732 a month TAX FREE... because of this it inflate their income by a massive margin.
Yup, it's an open secret that if you get your bachelors degree you unlock basic money to exist and doing the exact same job without additional workload unlike corporate America.
@@infini.tesimo Sounds like you should've become an officer instead of jealously complaining...also officers do not do the same jobs as enlisted at all...
@@jimbob100-d3l woah woah that's not what I meant at all actually. I meant what I said in a good way because it's actual hack to get the bachelors for this end goal in mind. Misfire brother, adjust aim. ;)
All good points but I think what's amazing is how they're making full use of their benefits and being really responsible with it. So even if this couple were stationed somewhere with a lower cost of living, I'm certain they would still have healthy savings.
Yup these people are squared away. I have no complaints, they're winning in every front and will be millionaires without even trying after they leave. Remove the excess, live in quality, and you have a happy life.
Air Force paid for my bachelors, masters, pilot training, follow on aircraft training(s) and now my PhD. There’s a lot of give (particularly family sacrifice), but overall it’s been a good ride so far.
They both seem so grounded and even keeled. Props to this young family. And a big thumbs up for Ramit Sethi as well. He has a RUclips channel well worth checking out.
I was in the USAF for four years and left as an E4 back during that conflict. Money wasn't great at all but it was interesting. My cousin made the USAF a career and retired a full bird colonel. She did really well for herself and is now enjoying the fruits of her labor.
They are both active duty officers. They each get paid a basic pay for their rank & time in service plus a housing allowance which is based on their location. Fairfield Air Force Base is an expensive area, so it's not that surprising that they're banking as a couple over 263k a year. BTW, military pay & housing allowances are all available online, so you can do the calculations yourself if you're so inclined.
Military makes good money when youre an officer and not enlisted, your pay get's pretty high when you're at a higher rank and how long you been in. Also some jobs such as pilots in the Airforce or any military branch can make really good money but of course not as good as airlines
This story is so flawed. Of course, they have ALL that money saved and invested. Military personnel have and get soo many benefits that CIVILIANS DO NOT. 1. No down payment to buy a house. 2. Free housing = mortgage is paid by the military with left over $$ to use for saving and investing. 3. Free college= no student loans to pay back. 4. Free health care= no health insurance premiums, co-pays or balances to pay or worry about 5. Free monthly stipend EACH for groceries. Groceries are ALSO already discounted at the military commissaries/ Px and exchange. 6. Free medications 7. Discounted gasoline on base 8. Discounted daycare 9. Military discounts at mamy restaurants and other establishments. 10. Extra pay for being married. 11. Extra pay based on the type of job. 🍎🍎 to 🍊🍊 They have a very big advantage over civilians who struggle every day and have to figure out how to pay for things or what to pay.
They put their lives on the line for country! Do you know how many servicemen and women paid the ultimate sacrifice or got maimed for life in Iraq and Afghanistan alone? The benefits you itemize are for their selfless service to the nation! Feel free to sign up and enjoy same!
Yes, they have advantages, but this story isn't flawed. You can find many officers/enlisted with the same benefits without $500k saved. You can find people making $500k/year who still don't have that much saved. They're financial planning and discipline is what allowed them to take advantage of their advantages (for lack of a better phrase)

@@AD70003 what are you talking about lol. There are plenty of young doctors in the military. They are both in their 30s. That’s young. I also use the term military doctor loosely to cover NP and dentist.
@@Oll_704 you need to do 4 years of pre med , then 4 years of med school ( MD / DO ) , then 3 years of residency ; that’s 11 years of education ( min ) , however in certain specialties residency can be 4-7 years , also add 2-3 years of sub specialisation ( like cardiologist, gi etc ) . There’s no way a 27-28 years old can be an attending physician . It’s just not possible . Many people take 2-3 drop years here and there to match into their preferred med school / residency / fellowship , some do research in between . So you can understand how long the process is . Also 130k a year for a doctor is super low . Most start at almost double the amount ( 250k ) . Surgical specialists and some sub specialists will get paid even double that amount .
Military members CAN be rich. I know several reserve members that have high paying careers outside of the military. And even some that are contractors or have their own businesses. It’s such an amazing thing to see these service members do better in the civilian world.
If I would've known how good a living u can make being in the service I would've joined the military a long time ago! Sometimes when u also have a good upbringing & have support from parents/family that makes a difference too.
Nice story. The military is always a great option for people. The opportunity for great pay, good benefits, and great job security. They will never have to worry about being out of work.
Yes. Very possible to earn 6 figures in your 20s. I did it. AFROTC at UT Austin followed by 24 years active duty service with multiple deployments. This family has established and is executing a flawless financial flightplan. I wish them well.
6 figures is the new middle class. Nothing to see here, folks. 😢 I’m more concerned about the number of enlisted and vets that leave with chronic health conditions like Cancer.
Im a stay at home mom, and me & husband save between $7,200-$7,900 a month. We sold our home, currently renting. We are tasting financial freedom. We currently have a CD with a credit union and will mature next September. We are wanting to invest in the S&p 500 and SPYI. Any thought's?
I'm pretty sure 263K is combined gross pay. Or it is also includeds BAS and BAQ? Also, if they shop and buy gas on base they save a lot wiht lower prices and often no sales tax. Since the husband is a KC-46 (Similar to a B767) pilot he can easily get a job with any major airline.
so for those who didn't join the military, just know that some allowances they get they can't pocket, but that's like OAH and few other things, so don't expect to be automatically rich just by joining the military lol
How can they contribute $1160/mo in Roth IRA if they make $263k/yr combined? You would have to file taxes married filed separately and can not have lived together? What am i missing
There’s no income limits if you do a something called a backdoor Roth IRA, which is easy and still allows each person to contribute $7000 annually to it. No need for any financial or tax advisors and it’s perfectly legal/ very common.
I’m a baker at a bakery where we have breads and donuts and treats. Usually when pouring the flour I’ll pour some in my mouth then let it slowly fall into the mixer. It’s exhilarating to say the most. I have been working there for 15 years and love it! Best job ever!
Great for them. Hardworking and responsible. And while I am by no menas a military fan, I know it's a good way for many low income families to get ahead in life. But I would never advertise my wealth so publicly and risk being murdered for it.
@@Bdonlee15 if it is any consolation, you are not alone! Millions of Americans are also "behind financially"! In the meantime, pls be thankful for other blessings you have aside from financial success!
Credit cards are a great way to protect your money while spending. The buffer between credit cards and a bank account is a plus even for debt free individuals. And then on top of that you get the benefits of points.
@targetdemographic1257 yeah so is a hacksaw. You want your surgeon using that or a scapel to work on you. CCS are tools used by poor people invented by rich people to make them richer and poor people poorer. I'm sure the CEO of Visa makes more than then combined in 6 months or less.
Usually annual fees are waived for some credit cards for active duty (I know Amex does this) so they get the perks of the annual fee credits cards for free, plus they said they never carry a balance.
what's wrong with their salaries? They are serving the country and they are skilled professionals. They can make that salary anywhere in the nation being in or not in the military.
Good for them. At the same time though, they're mil-to-mil active duty officers. No duh they're going to be doing well for themselves with finances. It's a completely different story much of the time if they were enlisted instead. Officers get the platinum spoon way more often than not 😂

Don't drop the gum Kramar.
Isn't that contamination & possibly getting others sick? Hope you're joking!
@@cocoxtina8366 Everyone knows they are joking.
@@cocoxtina8366 i never joke
funded by good ol' uncle sam... no rlly suddenely a military career seems so promising!! wow!
Congrats. They seem like like a nice young military couple.
Great for them. Hardworking and responsible. And while I am by no menas a military fan, I know it's a good way for many low income families to get ahead in life. But I would never advertise my wealth so publicly and risk being murdered for it.
I love this for them! One day!
Very smart couple!!
This was good, kudos to them!
Wow! Kudos to these two.
Such a lovely family !!
This should be in marketing for the military n
I was about to say. 1:25 Should have been the whole video lmao
Don’t forget Cali takes almost 100k in taxes with their income 😂
If your military you don’t have to pay state income tax unless you are a resident of the state
Do you know how much even the top tier pay in CA state taxes?
@@Noah_527 yes. A simple google search can provide the answer to that
I should be happy for them,
But Nowadays these vids make me depressed. Congrats to this hardworking family
why do they make you depressed
This vid is just military propaganda, that make young people think that you can get a good life in military.
@ I’m older than them and I’m much further behind financially, but that’s also my fault for comparing my situation
@@Bdonlee15 if it is any consolation, you are not alone!
Millions of Americans are also "behind financially"!
In the meantime, pls be thankful for other blessings you have aside from financial success!
@@Bdonlee15 There's always someone who will have more. Blaze your own path.
unless the DOD paychart is wrong, I don't know how airforce is paying more than army
Financially savvy couple!
Good thing they don't have to rely on public health insurance!
That’s a nice allowance . Not even veterans receive this much?
Good job guys
Being in officer in the military guarantees an easy life, don’t understand how this is impressive ?
Many blessings to them
They are so far ahead of the average couple their age. I thought this story was BS at first
Awesome couple
Elon: 😡
Why
Dixon! My cousin in law lives there!
Amazing and thank you for your service 🙏❤❤ praying healing in Jesus name Brittany 🙏
Mil to mil = millionaire… especially on the O side
Save 25 years of interest pay your house off in 5 years!
If you live in a low cost of living area with no kids, sure...
High pay (thanks to the public) and free almost everything (thanks to the public), you are welcome military.
Gross or net?? Hello from Bucharest, a huge underrated city in Europe:)
Also, the only reason that their income is so high is due to BAH. If they werent stationed in CA, this video wouldn’t be made. That’s it
I thought they were in CA?
They get A LOT of benefits and perks normal CIVILIANS do not get.
you guys don´t have time to spend that money.....and why are you saving for? Are you saving in currency? Monetary inflation is 7-12 % every year
Not inspired your dreams have to be higher
Thy dont move they dont blink their eyes ... when speaking
Good luck with your cancer treatments. I'm sure you WILL reach your desired retirement age :)
I am shocked.
Okay they are officers sounds realistic enlisted get the short end of the stick.
15 credit cards? ninja you make more than a quarter million and debt-free forget them cards yeesh.
Credit cards are a great way to protect your money while spending. The buffer between credit cards and a bank account is a plus even for debt free individuals.
And then on top of that you get the benefits of points.
Debt is a tool
@targetdemographic1257 yeah so is a hacksaw. You want your surgeon using that or a scapel to work on you. CCS are tools used by poor people invented by rich people to make them richer and poor people poorer. I'm sure the CEO of Visa makes more than then combined in 6 months or less.
Usually annual fees are waived for some credit cards for active duty (I know Amex does this) so they get the perks of the annual fee credits cards for free, plus they said they never carry a balance.
@@Gainzo Most Americans are not active duty and still got cc debt.
no wonder inflation is rampant and the average house costs $700k with obscene salaries like these...
what's wrong with their salaries? They are serving the country and they are skilled professionals. They can make that salary anywhere in the nation being in or not in the military.
you're blaming labor for inflation and not the business owners?
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🎀🎀🎀🎁🎁🎁
Good for them. At the same time though, they're mil-to-mil active duty officers. No duh they're going to be doing well for themselves with finances. It's a completely different story much of the time if they were enlisted instead. Officers get the platinum spoon way more often than not 😂
