Introducing Kate Kashman from The Paycheck Chronicles…
Need mortgage advice? Kate can help. Thinking about buying a new car? Kate can shed some light. Are you and your family making a PCS move and need moving tips? Kate has an idea or two.
Kate Kashman, author of military.com’s blog, The Paycheck Chronicles, Navy wife, mother of four, blogger, PR Specialist and on the go 24-7, is our next “On Loan At You Served” guest. Luckily for us, Kate took ten minutes out of her frenetic schedule to talk a little bit about the blog and how she got started writing it.
Kate’s blog is designed to help military members with their everyday financial situations and advise them on how to “make the most out of their paycheck.”
A one-time mortgage professional, Kate was handling PR duties for military.com when they approached her about writing The Paycheck Chronicles. Kate was also writing for SpouseBuzz.Com at the time, and continues to do so. She’s been writing the blog since last July and the she’s gotten solid responses from both the military and personal finance communities.
“The responses have been interesting,” she said, “we’re still gaining speed on the military side.” Kate said folks can be woefully uneducated about personal finance, so she tries to incorporate where to find good deals, basic finance education and links to other useful finance information in her daily posts.
Kate said she enjoys getting feedback from people who have benefited from reading her work, and she would love to write the blog forever, and while that may or may not happen, she will continue to educate through The Paycheck Chronicles.
“We’re very fortunate (military members) that we get paid every two weeks -and while that might not be a lot of money – you need to make the most out of that paycheck.”
