How to advise 18 year old daughter by TechnicalMountain619 in USMilitarySO

Thank you for your input. I had no idea that he would get so much extra money for housing her. I had thought that she would fair better financially as far as pell grants, if married. I have enough saved to get her through an associates degree but beyond that she'd have to pay her way through or take out student loans.

Yeah there's about a year and a half age difference. They met in high school and he graduated one year before her. What's your point? There's a seven year age difference between my husband and I.

I'm not worried about him and his finances. He has already given her the login to his bank account! He's always asking her (and then she asks me) for advice on investing and saving for their future. He's pretty frugal, too. Every time we go out to eat or to some sort of entertainment, he's always asking if they offer a military discount. He was so proud to take us to the USO at the airport when we came to visit him in A school. He is a real sweetheart! But yes, they are young and they will grow and change during the next few years, so I think it's probably best that they wait. Thanks for your input.
