Yup. We're one of the families that are affected by the shut down directly. My daughter is employed by the U.S.G.S. (United States Geological Survey) as an Administrative Assistant. She had just finished getting her bachelor's degree and was starting to fill out paperwork to go full time and was getting a promotion when everything was halted and she was furloughed. Her future is put on hold and, after struggling financially to get by while she was in school and finally feeling like we could start benefiting, her future is put on hold.
Not only are we trying to find money to pay our bills and rent, but we are looking for ways to save money and spend less. I have doubled up my efforts to save money at home and am trying various ways to make things to sell to help get spending money. I haven't been very active on this blog, but will now start again and hopefully give other people ideas on how to get through the tough times that our country is dealing with.
