Whether soldiers can save money during their military careers has always been a hotly debated topic. Some soldiers, like Mr. Wang, frankly admit that they did not save a penny during their time in the army. This may seem strange to people who have never lived in the military. After all, in the army, there is basically no need to spend on food, clothing, medical treatment, etc. But what exactly are the aspects of the life of the army that may need to be spent?
First, while in the military, many soldiers' biggest expenses may come from smoking, buying snacks, and drinking alcohol. In the past, the army was relatively tolerant of drinking, which led many soldiers to drink secretly in their spare time. Due to the low salary, coupled with habits such as smoking, it is difficult to save even an already limited income.
Secondly, going out on the street is also an activity that can incur costs. In some military locations, such as Chongqing and other urban areas, it is more convenient to go out. Going out shopping, eating, or playing can all be expenses. Although the food in the troops is average, they sometimes go out to eat or even play, which also adds to some of the expenses.
In addition, a very small number of soldiers may have additional expenses, such as secretly playing cards, which can lead to the loss of a lot of money. In contrast, those who can be frugal and good at managing money will consciously control their own expenses and strictly manage their personal finances. They will save money in all aspects of their lives, and even some comrades-in-arms will send all their monthly allowances home, leaving only a little pocket money for themselves.
This makes us wonder: how many soldiers in the army are able to save money?And how do they manage their finances?Does saving money represent one's maturity and perception of money?Recalling your experience in the army, were you able to save money?How much have you saved?This may be a special memory for everyone.
