Among military families experiencing health issues, survey respondents who work with a financial planner feel more comfortable about their finances.

First Command says 52% of military families working with an advisor report feeling "financially secure" versus 28% of those who do not work with an advisor, and 46% of those working with an advisor say they are conifdent in their ability to retire comfortably versus 20% of those surveyed and who do not work with an advisor.
