'Military Spouse Finance Guide' Teaches Money Management, Benefits Charity

Book by Pioneer Services Helps Military Spouses Take Control of
Their Family's Finances
KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(Business Wire)--
Military spouses are the unsung heroes, taking care of the family
and the finances during their husbands' or wives' deployment. They
find ways to make ends meet, get the kids to school, and take care of
the daily chores, all while worrying about their loved one's safety.

Pioneer Services is giving these spouses a helping hand with a new
book: "Military Spouse Finance Guide: Financial Advice for the
Homefront."

"Financial problems are a serious concern for military leadership
because money troubles at home can affect a service member's
performance in the field," said Karen Von Der Bruegge, chief marketing
officer for Pioneer Services. "The 'Military Spouse Finance Guide' can
help keep those problems from occurring by covering a wide range of
topics, providing real-world examples, and giving military spouses the
tools they need to control their family's finances. They can even use
the information well after their spouses' military careers are over."

The book includes forewords by Sylvia Kidd, director, Family
Programs, Association of the United States Army (AUSA); and U.S. Army
Command Sergeant Major Roger Stradley, (Ret), founder of USA Cares,
Inc.

In addition, all proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit a
military non-profit organization: the Association of the United States
Army's (AUSA) Family Programs. Pioneer Services joined forces with
AUSA because of a shared commitment to improving the quality of life
for military families.

"We wanted to provide military spouses with a comprehensive guide
that covers a variety of financial topics, as well as act as a
resource for every military family," said Von Der Bruegge. "We think
it's a great way to show our appreciation for all of the families that
have sacrificed so much for our country."
