[quote=Anonymous]DH is furloughed. We could be OK on just my salary for a few months, but I work part-time and things will be very tight. No money for extras, definitely no dinners out, and very frugal grocery shopping. A few necessray home projects (waterproofing basement) will be on hold for awhile. We moved recently and had some unexpected expensees. We had been diligently saving to get our "emergency fund" back up where we want it to be when this hit, so I'm worried if things don't get back on track soon we could be in trouble. We have a friend who is a furloughed single mom, and she's on unemployment so she can pay the rent. I also live in DC, so am pretty anxious about city services being suspended if this thing drags on and on. Not having trash pick up and having my kids' charter school impacted would make this suck even more.[/quote]
