How to keep your family afloat when the government shuts down
Description
Your paycheck may stall, but your plan shouldn’t. On Warrior Money, Patrick Murphy and Dan Kunze outline exactly what to do now: lock down your “four walls,” freeze non-essential spending, and call lenders early while tracking cash flow tightly. They highlight stopgaps like USAA and PenFed interest-free paycheck advances, urge vets to loop in congressional caseworkers for stalled VA claims, and key nuances for Guard and Reserve pay. Get practical steps to build (or rebuild) a three-month emergency fund so the next shutdown doesn’t blindside your family.
Yahoo Finance's Warrior Money, hosted by former Congressman Patrick Murphy and veteran investor Dan Kunze, is dedicated to uplifting the financial well-being of military veterans transitioning into civilian life. Each week, an array of guests—from everyday vets to high-ranking government officials—offer insight on successfully making the leap from service to business.
