[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised by all the responses. Based on most threads in the money and finance section I came to understand everyone on dcum are dual income big law partners. Hmm [/quote]

Well most of us poor feds don't hang out on DCUM because most of the advice given doesn't apply to us.

My household has really pulled back on spending, because this looks like it's going to be a long shutdown. We have canceled all travel. [/quote]

If you have plans like travel, you aren't that poor and where is all your savings?[/quote]

They didn't say they don't have savings.  They are being fiscally sound.  When you don't have a job/are not getting paid, you cut back everything to the bare minimum you can manage.  So yeah, I wouldn't be planning any vacations/travel, would stop eating out, would minimize all expenses that I could.  Even if you have savings, most people only have 6months at most and you don't want to blow thru that at your normal 100% spending, if you can cut a ton and stretch it to 12 months or more
