It made me so angry that spouses were bashing one another like that. Then I saw people that weren't even milspouses bashing milspouses who hadn't saved or that were in a tight spot... It was ridiculous. I agree with everything you wrote and again, thank you for writing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584228167731927982.post-1195409085851861532011-04-08T16:19:43.033-07:002011-04-08T16:19:43.033-07:00I totally agree.

I am not even a military wife, but i heard about the shutdown on the radio this morning & about our military not being paid (though congress WILL BE, of course!) & i was furious!! What a slap in the face! How can they even do that?! It blows my mind & makes me angry! <br /><br />I had no idea ppl were bashing each other though! WOW! That's just terrible. You never know someone's financial situation. But even if someone never saves their money, that is besides the point!!!! Military should still be paid!!!!! <br /><br />UGH... i'm so sorry. Will be praying for y'all.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815407660365883762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584228167731927982.post-34646457093399039392011-04-08T08:49:16.385-07:002011-04-08T08:49:16.385-07:00I totally agree with you!

No one knows anything about another's financial situation, and it's easy to sit back and judge if you've got a nest egg or if you're not in the military. I volunteer for a relief organization where I counsel service members all the time on how to better their finances so I know a lot of military families support a big family on very little, yet the sacrifice quite a lot for everyone else to live how they want to. It's sad to me that so many people can turn their noses up at the situation or be completely apathetic about it.Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824306610344014414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584228167731927982.post-54152610856084824122011-04-08T08:43:18.597-07:002011-04-08T08:43:18.597-07:00Welcome home to the MR!!!

Even though I protested at the time I am glad we sacrificed a few years worth of nice vacations to build some extra cushion. I'm thinking of everyone who isn't so lucky.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540357391500090255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584228167731927982.post-88579452602566872472011-04-08T08:02:36.381-07:002011-04-08T08:02:36.381-07:00I agree!

Then we had another financial blunder on the part of finance and again, we're going to go through our savings. We weren't going to get paid these next two checks anyway, but it doesn't matter because it does affect everyone and there's no way of knowing how long it will continue. I really hope everyone makes it through this without too many scratches and bruises. *sigh*Jessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04536607888498028285noreply@blogger.com
