[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, we can weather a shutdown by dipping into our emergency fund. I suppose that's what it's there for. However, we built that emergency fund up prior to having children and now are not able to save at the same rate due to childcare and other child-associated expenses. So anything that has to come out of it is going to take that much longer to put back in and then if another real emergency comes about and there's less money as a starting point for that emergency...I can see it snowballing into being a big deal. It really gets my goat that if there's any shutdown of substantial length I'll have to keep paying for daycare that isn't open since the daycare is in a federal building. [/quote] This would be me, too. I really don't like using savings. The daycare issue is really crappy![/quote]
