[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm split on this. I'm glad that there are resources available for people who need them.

On the other hand, I've been reading a lot of articles lately about how so many feds are out of money and need the government to reopen so they can get another paycheck to eat and pay rent. If you are living paycheck to paycheck as a Fed you are doing something very wrong.

Not helpful. 
At my place of employment, most of the feds who are furloughed are the lower paid feds who aren't paid from industry fees. And all the contractors. There is no way these feds and other workers make enough money to save and live in the DC metro. I feel bad for them, not everyone who works in the DC metro is a GS 11 and up, and many have families. You should be ashamed of yourself pp.

There are several banks and financial institutions trying to offer options:
