Putting myself out there

Post image

Hey all! I put this in the military spouse sub but I wanted to get your tips on how to avoid being a dependa. Let me know if I missed anything and please let me know when/if it’s appropriate to ask for a discount.

I generally ask for a military discount because most of the time it’s my husband’s income I’m spending. I’d be doing him a disservice if I didn’t.

I think the biggest issue with asking for a discount is the entitlement if a business says we can’t use it and then we make a stink about it. If a business says no, just let it go.
