I'm hoping that the government isn't going to be shutting down next week, as that may directly affect us. The other half--being military--may not see his paycheck next week. It is a worry...and an annoying inconvenience. I can't really do too much about it though, unless I somehow develop the power to control governments.
We have enough in savings to weather the storm for a few months, and he will get back pay so the savings would be replenished. Though hopefully any shutdown would only be in terms of weeks, not months. If we need to, I could call the agency and start picking up weekend shifts. Or I could just make that plunge and go full-time earlier than planned.
