As a veteran Navy nurse and mom of seven, I started this website to organize key resources and benefits to share with our family and friends. My hope is that this website and my Facebook page (Plan Ahead Life) will streamline key benefits, provide links to official sources, and help maximize benefits and opportunities for students, military and veterans and their families.
The High School Resume Builder was designed as a tool for our high school students to keep track of their activities, awards, goals, due dates, and applications. For our college students, the College Compass helps organize academics, financial, and medical information during the college years. The Home Finance Quick Reference was created to help organize financial accounts to quickly see what gets paid and when--especially before deployments, moving, or caring for aging family members.
The State Veteran Benefits Table was created with links to official sources, enabling veterans to quickly compare benefits (such as Tuition Waivers, Property Taxes, etc.) between states.
