Today I'm going to apply for some MWR (the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation office) jobs. For some reason, people always perk up when I say this. Job? Are you struggling? No. Not at all. John makes more than enough to support us.
However, John and I have seriously been considering a life after the Navy. What a better time than now to start kicking some serious money back into a savings account. Most people on shore duty here in Japan get a second job and you have stories of people saving $90k or more during the duration of their time in Japan. John wants to lifeguard during the summer. Even if he's making $400 a month, that's money that can go straight to a savings account.
As for me, I'll get a job doing....something...and kick all my money into savings as well. It would be ideal when we finally decide to leave the Armed Forces that we have a cushion to help us get on our feet. Neither of our jobs will be serious full-time work, so it will leave us with plenty of time to explore Japan and be with our families.
