Should I house hack or live in the barracks? (Military)

[Fahadbin Alam]

So I'm heading to fort bragg where I will be living in the barracks. My question is should I live in the barracks and save up to 20% until I can purchase a property or should I house hack and own a property and maybe pay some expenses every month?

Like is it either I own a home and live there paying half the expense or live for free in the barracks while I save up my money.

I already have enough money to house hack.
