[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or your spouse if you are a SAHP. How long would you be able to float if you lost an income in your household. [/quote] For ever. We have some savings, and we would adjust our budget. This happens to people in the private sector all the time, btw.[/quote] All the time in the private sector people have to go to work without being paid? All the time in the private sector you can't go to work but can't make changes like dropping child care because you might have to go back to work tomorrow? All the time in the private sector you can't get a second job because of ethics rules? I don't think so.[/quote] No, we just get furloughed and don't even get a paycheck when it is over. And just like you, we also have rules that often require us to get permisison to work another job. We also get laid off and don't get to just retire in place. My DH got laid off, along with 20% of his company and Yes, we still had to pay for childcare while he looked for a new job that took 4 months to find. UNLIKE you, our jobs are not guaranteed [/quote]
