The paper discusses financial planning for military personnel, focusing on career soldiers with a background as non-commissioned officers. It analyzes income and expenses during military careers, using three different financial instruments: stocks, ETFs, and fixed deposits (CDs). By allocating funds to stocks or ETF assets instead of CDs, significant differences are observed over a 14-year accumulation period. Investments in TSMC showed the highest relative increase at 22 times over CDs, while investments in Chunghwa Telecom showed a 3 times increase. Investments in Yuanta Taiwan 50 and Yuanta High Dividend ETFs exceeded CDs by 6.7 times and 4.8 times, respectively. The analysis concludes that effective investment tools can significantly enhance asset accumulation. Despite stable income, professional soldiers lack sufficient financial training, and relying solely on CDs is inefficient. Enhancing financial knowledge and developing a personalized financial investment portfolio can provide greater security for the future.
