I know that with everyone concerned over the potential Government Shutdown everyone was starting to panic about how it would affect the Military personnel. It would have had a HUGE affect on us. Not just financially. Yes we like alot of people would have struggled but it would have had an affect on our kids. They would have had to have given up their soccer until things got resolved. Now I know that this seems trivial with people wondering how they were going to feed their families if we did not get paid, but when you are trying to keep a sense of normalcy in a child's life this could have been a HUGE change in their routine.
I was worried about the no paycheck thing but not so much for me (I have a little money saved) but I was more worried for the lower ranking families that are barely scraping by as it is. This had been weighing on my mind alot this week. So here is my advise for today:
EVEN IF IT IS HARD (and trust me I know it is) TRY TO PUT SOME MONEY ASIDE FOR A RAINY DAY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL NEED IT AND IF YOU CAN NOT PUT MONEY ASIDE GET A LIST OF ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS ON BASE OR IN YOUR COMMUNITY THAT CAN HELP IN AN EMERGENCY.
Be kind t one another an cherish the time you do get to spend with one another.
