What changes immediately: BAH, healthcare, budgeting together, and the biggest admin steps.
Progress: 0 / 9 (0%)
First Week Checklist
- Update DEERS + personnel records (this drives benefits).
- Verify BAH "with dependents" status in your pay system.
- Pick your healthcare setup (Tricare options depending on branch/status).
- Update beneficiaries: SGLI + TSP (people forget this).
- Create a shared "household baseline" budget (rent, groceries, car, insurance).
Money Setup That Prevents Fights
- One shared bills account + two personal "fun money" buckets (even small).
- Agree on savings goals (emergency fund, travel, down payment).
- Set a 'talk first' threshold for purchases (ex: $200+).
- Use the ActivePayOS budget export as the source of truth.
