Bigfoot Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'm trying not to be political, but because of our current government (both left and right)...I cannot pay my bills now. My monthly retirement check for military service did not come. Now I'm screwed. Anyone want to buy my vette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Websites are saying veterans retirement pay won't be affected. Maybe there is just some strange delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOXXOH Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Just be glad that you work for a school that's primarily funded locally and not the Federal gov't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P51tj Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Mine and Johnnie's GOV money was deposited on the 27th and she went to work at the VA this morning so all seems OK at the moment for us.....now the GI Bill money will probably be another story...

Unreal Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Wife is furloughed. No work, no pay until it starts back. Very real effect on me and my family. There goes any plans or spending. Basically we can't do anything until she gets back to work but stay home and pay bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I got my VA money a couple days ago. Four days. I think it will be over by the end of the week. This is just their(the gubment) latest tactic in the last few years to get everyone screaming about the sky falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Congress still gets paid? In an extended shutdown, most of the federal workforce would go without pay, but the checks will keep coming to the 533 current members of Congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Sad how the people who don't do their job get paid, but the people who work hard now get screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically we can't do anything until she gets back to work but stay home and pay bills. It is very likely when the children in Washington are done playing games that she will receive back pay. I wouldn't sweat it too much just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now she is home cleaning the house and making dinner like a good house wife instead of working for the man. Still doesn't make us feel good, and the odds this time of getting backpay for doing nothing don't look as good as the last few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
