Listener Question: Is Switching to 1099 Worth It?

Military life comes with lots of transitions and career decisions are a big one, especially for spouses navigating remote work, PCS moves, and family schedules. A big decision many milspouses face is whether to stick with the stability of a W-2 job or switch to the flexibility and income potential of 1099 contract work. In this episode, I’m answering a listener's question from Holly about whether she should leave her W-2 remote job and take on 1099 work instead. I’ll break down the pros and cons of each path, especially for military families, including taxes, benefits, portability, and peace of mind so you can weigh your own decision with more clarity and confidence. https://milmo.co/podcast/listener-question-1099-career-switch For more MILMO, follow at: MILMO.co ItsMILMO on YouTube @itsmilmo on X @itsmilmo Instagram @itsmilmo LinkedIn @itsmilmo Facebook
