End of Year Financial Check-in for Veterans

As 2025 winds down, this micro toolkit offers a simple but meaningful way to help Veterans reflect on their financial progress and prepare for the year ahead.

Grounded in the four pillars of the Veteran Saves program — alleviating financial stress, safe banking, the military-to-civilian financial transition, and housing, this 4-day challenge invites Veterans to take one small, financially focused reflective action per day to close out the year with clarity. 

This isn’t about New Year’s resolutions or perfection. It’s about meeting Veterans where they are and helping them look at what’s working, what’s changed, and what they want to build on in 2026. 

Inside this mini-toolkit, you’ll find: 

  • Blog content to share
  • A downloadable one-pager with the full 4-day challenge 
  • Suggested social media copy and graphics 
  • A plug-and-play newsletter blurb 

We encourage you to share this with your audiences across digital platforms and newsletters as an easy year-end engagement tool.
