<prompt> Human: I am 25 married w2 kids. Make 50kyear, no degree, and live in the Midwest. I bought a home in 2015 for 100k. I owe 73k and it worth 150k. I have 7k in savingsemergency fund but no retirement. My wife is going to school to be a teacher we have not taken out any loans for her schooling and is she about half way done.Would it be a wise decision to join the military?I would sell my house, collect that income, save, and invest it. I think my entry level military salary BAS would be 23k 4,400 untaxed. Which is a significant decrease but I would not need to pay my mortageutilitiesrepairs etc.Also since I do not have a degree I am no where near recession proof. Just wondering if anyone else has thought about do this?  <response>: Just keep what youre doing. Dont take any loans for her schooling. Once she is done, shell get a job and your income should about double.Dont take out any loans or debt. Just slowly pay off your mortgage.You seem to be in a good situation, no need to go into the military from a financial standpoint. Unless of course you just WANT to go.
