[quote=Anonymous]It could be worse. I lived in the Soviet Union attending high school when the entire country collapsed. Everything was owned by the government there, everyone was paid by the government, and all of a sudden there is no country and no government. My parents kept working without pay for about 9 or 10 months. My brother had to drop his PhD program, moved to Moscow and sent us $20 each month to buy food. Everyone's lifetime savings have disappeared too because they introduced a new currency overnight. Right now, we are somewhat impacted by the shutdown. We finally decided to open a 529 plan for DD, but she has no SSN and the plan can't be opened without it. The SSA offices are not issuing the SSNs during the shutdown, so apparently we'll not be able to open the plan and get a tax deduction this year. Also, the stock market is going down...[/quote]
