[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shutdown will delay payments. It’s not a big deal, particularly for retirees who have large savings (which is why they can retire). [/quote]

It is a big deal for most feds who don't have large savings. People with kids. People with mortgages. I have no confidence you will get this money - the shutdown will start on Tuesday. If the shutdown benefits the president (MAGA podcasters are saying it gives the president more control over spending and spending cuts), the shutdown may last indefinitely.

If I were the OP, I would start thinking as if the money will not come. Make a plan for what you can do now to live without it (second job, spend less, move) - and if it does come, that is a bonus. [/quote]

But OP is a retiree. They do have large savings, otherwise they wouldn't have retired. [/quote]

No. "Voluntary" early retirement doesn't mean we have large savings.  It means it was the only viable path forward available in untenable circumstances.  [/quote]
