The children -- er, Congress -- can't play nicely with each other, a lesson they should have learned back in preschool. So us Americans have to suffer the consequences.
As of midnight on Saturday, the federal government is in a partial shutdown. One of the casualties is my husband, who works for the IRS.
At the moment, we have money in the bank and plenty of food. I've applied for a forebearance on my student loans and I'm looking to see what other expenses I can cut.
I've also been sick with the flu. I emailed the woman I proof for and said that as of tomorrow, I can finally proof again. I also told her that I need all the work I can get.
Frank and I will take a look at our assets and liabilities, and between us, we'll figure out a way to get through this. We went through something similar back in 2013, and we made it through. I believe we'll make it through again.
Just my .04, adjusted for inflation.
