Stimulte this, buy a house.
"I took my $900 check and $100 from savings to write an escrow check to Chicago Title so I could buy a new house on my VA benefit. Now my kids don't have to sleep on my sofa and love seat for the 96 hours a month I get them, because of how high and dry my X left me while I was gone in the Arabian Gulf. Six years of living in barracks, ships, and studio apartments, now I have my own home and my kids their own rooms when they visit, hopefully for more than 2 weekends a month. "
