I'll even help you out here: coupon code GIFTBOOK

$5 off a purchase of $15 of books. It will at least pay for shipping.

Uber is a horrible way to make money unless you live in a dense metro area. If it isn't paying for gas, then not only is he working for free but your losing money and he should stop immediately. Consider also the depreciation on your vehicle so you're losing even more money. I think many, many Uber drivers fail to consider how much money they lose to depreciation

Aw! <3

Like, what books I'd recommend, or just....stuff to do underway that would be in the self-improvement area? The big two that jump out as underway activities are always "save money, and work out."

What platform are you floating on?

So the first thing I do with all my proteges is I hand them the grading sheet for Sailor of the Year/Quarter and a blank evaluation, and I ask them to grade themselves. Not everyone wants to be, or needs to be, Sailor of the Year or a 5.0 sailor, but if that's the standard the Navy has set as "the best," then at least we have a guideline of what we should be working toward, right?

One thing that was pretty big at my last command was the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal. Instruction here. One thing that is a really easy way to gain community service hours while underway is to make blankets for the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society's "Budgeting For Baby" class. You can crochet (that's incredibly easy, I promise) or you can google one of the thousand DIY no-sew blanket tutorials. If you belong to a Bluejacket Association or Enlisted Association or whatever, you may be able to get them to fund the cost of buying the material...or even ask the FCPOA if they'll give $50 to the cause. You can head over to Jo-Ann's or Fabric.com and check out their discount sections too. NMCRS offers 30 hours per blanket. Taking an hour out of your Holiday Routine for the entire float.....most of the DIY no-sew blankets only take an hour or two to make, sooooo. Collect those hours. Add in a COMREL or two, and there's no reason you can't end a float with over a hundred hours of community service. This is particularly great if you have a friend or two to make blankets with you....snag one of the TVs on the messdecks and watch a movie while you crochet. You can also contact a local homeless shelter and see if they need hats and crochet hats for them. Obviously not a good suggestion if you're stuck underway on a submarine with no space, but if you're surface side--good to go.

Books I'd suggest, well, hm, this could get out of control pretty fast, but off the top of my head:

  • Personality Plus by Florence Littauer or her work specific version

  • Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg

  • It's Your Ship by Capt Abrashoff

  • Starship Troopers

  • Ender's Game (Ender and Starship are obviously straight scifi but there are some really awesome leadership principles/concepts/ideas that are worth mulling over. They've both been on past CNO's recommended reading lists too....and they're just fun to read.)

  • For money, while, like, 99% of his stuff is "Duh!" I can't discount the practical steps he outlines, so Dave Ramsey's books, particularly Financial Peace is worth reading. His whole book is basically the wiki in r/personalfinance, but if you're wondering how to get your finances straight I recommend picking up this book. Just, in general. Good basic information and a starting point. Not saying you need it, but "saving money" just happens underway by virtue being trapped out on the ocean =)

  • Leaders Eat Last

  • First of all congratulations. It's terrifying and awesome to become a father.

  • Get 30 year term life insurance today. You are going to sleep better knowing this is taken care of. No "cash value" life insurance. TERM!!

  • Read some books, The Millionare Next Door, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Financial Peace any of the etc. These books will give you some contradictory advice but they'll also give you the information to make your own decisions.

I use You Need a Budget for budgeting. (www.ynab.com) Really good for budgeting and cashflow management. It's not good for tracking investments etc. though.

As far as what you should do immediately with that $400, I'd pay down that $600 loan. I'm sure the interest on that is insane and you're gonna get the most for your money that way. It will also give you a sense of satisfaction (hopefully) once you pay it off. You'll know you're on your way to financial peace.

You pay for your savings account?! Drop that immediately. Go for a free high-interest savings account that are all over the place nowadays (INGDirect for example is offering 1.1% on savings accounts right now which will go up when interest rates go back up).

Next you should concentrate on paying off those other loans. Some people like to start with the highest-interest loans. Others like to start with the smallest balance loans. I like the idea of starting with the smallest balance loans because of how quickly you can build up speed to pay off all your loans (google debt snowball).

Oh, and buy Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace Revisited book (http://www.amazon.com/Financial-Peace-Revisited-Dave-Ramsey/dp/0670032085/). Whether or not you completely agree with him, he's got great advice, especially if you're just starting out.
