Hello all,

    My name is Konrad Putzier and I am an economics reporter at the Wall Street Journal. I am interviewing military service members about how they invest and plan for their financial future.

    Is there anyone in this group who is interested in sharing their perspective?Here's what I would like to talk about:

    – How did you get interested in investing?

    – What type of assets do you invest in and how have those investments performed?

    – Do you talk to fellow service members about money and investing, and if yes, what kind of advice do you exchange?

    – What are your goals as an investor? 

    If you're interested in talking about any of these topics, I'd love to hear your thoughts. You can reach me at [konrad.putzier@wsj.com](mailto:konrad.putzier@wsj.com) or at 203-747-9307 (also my WhatsApp and Signal number).

    This is for an article about how and why military service members invest. Service members are often very active investors and talk to each other about money more openly than people in other professions. We find that interesting, and the idea is to explain how this investing culture developed and what it's like to invest and plan for your future while serving in the military.

    Here's a link to my author page with my recent articles: https://www.wsj.com/news/author/konrad-putzier

    Many thanks, Konrad

    1. Any particular demographic you are looking for?
      Officer or enlisted?
      Under 30 over 30?
      Current military vs former?
      Active duty vs reserves?

    2. The last thing I would ever want is my name and connection to the service in a national newspaper. Way too much attention in this current political climate.

      Anyone doing this should also be running it by their base Public Affairs (or similar) office.
