[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. People are missing my point!

I am talking about people who have paid off their loans to the point of being down to the low interest government loans (people in their late 30s etc), have no kids or sick parents to take care of, and no major health issues.

And yes, I do go out and live life. I go to free museums and openings and other events. I go to dinner and order water and an appetizer or cheap entree. I go to hh and stop after one drink. I don't have a car. I have health issues but they are not hugely expensive.[/quote]

People live way beyond their means. They don’t think ahead and they have no sound financial back up plan for shutdowns. Shutdowns and this shut down shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody. People who don’t plan ahead are not very smart.[/quote]

There have only been 4 shutdowns in the last 20 years.

Republicans control all branches of govt, so why would we expect a shutdown? All previous ones were when other party controlled Senate — because when it was single party they negotiated from a position of strength but with some concession which brought over a few from the other side to vote.

This term? Who the F could have predicted the last 9 months?  I’ve been saving like mad since June when Biden stroked out, but we are freaking Feds, there isn’t much to work with to build $100k+ in savings.  [/quote]
