<prompt> Human: So my only income is my va disability Im not allowed to work. I have never put money away in a 401k or anything like that. What is the best way for a veteran with only a disability paycheck to save for later in life? Im mainly worried about the government putting a stop to veteran benefits in the future and dont want to be old and have 0 income and no plan B. I have done some research and cannot find any info on saving plans for disabled vets or anything of that sort. My parents were not good with finances and well Im slowly learning, better late then never I guess.  <response>: You can work, just not full time. That said, you can definitely invest.Several 100 disability vets I know own rental properties. You work with a property management firm and they handle maintenance etc. Depending on your expenses and how much you can save etc. This might be something to aim for. Or perhaps getting a financial advisor to help you make some investments in the stock market etc. There are a ton of Veteran programs to help with this as well. On top of that as best I can tell while you cant work full time you can definitely make use of your GI bill. I suggest you do. Whatever you might wanna study, or even just a general ed degree. Something. If only to give yourself something to do and not staying home. Besides that youll also get your GI BAH on top of your disability which will be a nice infusion of cash and even covers health insurance through the school if you need it. First thing, Id talk to a financial advisor somewhere whether its the VA or otherwise and set up a budget that helps you set money aside to improve your income and quality of life in the long term.
