I see a lot of reporting on the government workers not getting paid, and the overall impression is that many are about to go under. I didn't realize so many people were a few weeks pay away from losing it all. One lady said she hadn't been paid since Dec. 29, but this is only 26 days later.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they should be jolly about it. If I were in their shoes, I would not be a happy camper. I'd be all kinds of frustrated, but I wouldn't be on the verge of losing my house after a month, and I didn't assume most others would be either, but apparently I was wrong. I saw a headline in the MSN page that one lady had a little over a dollar in her bank account.
Does the cost of living in a lot of their areas just make it impossible to save anything?
