[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a furloughed fed feeling the pain right now but I do believe you need to reduce expenses. At any salary you should be able to save. And I say this as someone who started at 35k as a fed. I completely understand that all humans have lean times but every year can’t be a lean time. [/quote] So, you started about $10K above current minimum wage levels in DC. How long ago was that? What was minimum wage when you earned that? If you were supporting one person, on double minimum wage it's easy to say "anyone should be able to save", but there are plenty of people supporting children on less than you made. [/quote]
