Future Transactions: Financial Advice Hub

Young adulthood can be overwhelming, particularly when you have a parent or carer in the Armed Forces. 

While many young people from forces families are used to having additional responsibilities, the decisions you need to make as a young adult come thick and fast: Where will I live? What will I do for work or study? How do I budget for day-to-day and monthly expenses?

When it comes to planning your future and managing your finances, it helps to have a bit of support. We’ve listened to young people about what information is most needed, and we’ll be sharing information here that will help you feel more financially knowledgeable.

Almost half of the 13,000 forces children living in Scotland are from Veteran families, and the transition to Civvy Street can create additional financial challenges. The Future Transactions project has been funded by the Scottish Government Scottish Veterans Fund.
