#13: What a Country Can Do with $768 Billion
This next guide is brought to us by Progress for the People and suggests alternative uses for all the money that annually goes to the U.S. military budget. It’s truly eye-opening and mind-boggling to see how much money the country spends on the military and what other ways the citizens can benefit from these funds.

Of course, the U.S. is not the only country that spends so much of its yearly budget on the military, and any country needs to have a strong military force, even if it’s not under any current threat. However, seeing that this budget could be spent on education, higher education, health housing, and so much more – puts things into perspective and makes you question the values of our society.
