[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

You are stupid.

So you don't want to use your emergency fund for an emergency because there might be another emergency? How about you appreciate that you have an emergency fund you entitled idiot. Some people have NOTHING. But since you want to be such a martyr just go cry your ass to the welfare line. I am sure that is so much easier than breathing a sigh of relief that you have an EMERGENCY fund for what could be an emergency.

My emergency fund is for my 19-year-old HVAC system, my only modest car, paying for health bills because my stupid federal insurance keeps finding more ways to justify not paying for procedures.  I'm not expecting to get paid back this time, so it's just gone. Why should I have to contemplate taking a HELOC loan to deal with eventualities I prepared for because Congress is a bunch of useless morons? Oh, and I'm pretty sure that im not going to be granted extensions on all the projects that are due by 1 December or 1 January so well just have to work more uncompensated hours once we're back to work.[/quote]

Oh boo hoo...your hvac system in the house you aren't going to lose. Your modest car that you will be able to use instead of your feet. And heloc loans that you don't need but you could qualify for.

I feel so bad for you. Let me get together with the people who will have no food, no homes, and hungry and cold kids. We will all crowdfund for you just in case your hvac messes up.[/quote]

Why are you angry at us? Why aren't you spewing your bile at Congress and the sheep that buy into everything said by Fox News and who are actively rooting for their own destruction by voting for these morons? [/quote]

My compassion is reserved for those who deserve it. Not a bunch of entitled brats who are crying about using their emergency funds. I will save my encouragement for those who will be sitting in the dark, hungry, and crossing their fingers hoping that they don't get an eviction notice. [/quote]
You have no compassion for people who have to hand over hundreds or thousands of dollars for no good reason? Middle-class government workers pay taxes, purchase goods and services, save for their own retirements, hire babysitters and housekeepers, and contribute to the social safety net that protects those who are hungry. Emergency funds are not trust funds.[/quote]

Op here. I did not write anything in this thread.[/quote]
