Oh sweet baby Jesus.
We're one of the families who are severely affected by the shutdown (husband is a USDA inspector, no paycheck, and my contract depends HEAVILY on bankruptcy filings, also affected), and I am watching EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY. and have been for the last FIVE WEEKS, because I could see the writing on the wall.
Yet all my bills are current till the end of the month, and while I don't have a lot of cash on hand, I do have a bit, and we're being very, very careful about our spending.
And I don't know about anybody else, but my debit cards don't work for gas unless there's a hundred bucks in the account. Just sayin'.
Sorry to hear that, SR. I hope things get back on track for you and your family quickly.
