I received a direct appointment to USAFA and am leaving in 3 month. I have about 10K saved up in a HYSA, car paid off, investing 25% in TSP. Is there anything else I could do in these 3 months?
 
@pbev I disagree with the other comment. You’ll have way more travel at the academy than while enlisted. Depending on if your parents pay for flights home every few months, you’ll want to have ready access to those funds. I think a HYSA is a perfect place to keep them.

I’ll also add that when the time comes around for your career starter loan, take it. The rates are usually fantastic on it, I got 0.75% 6 years ago, and iirc it’s interest free until you graduate. Either way, huge investment opportunity with house money.
