How to Survive a Government Shutdown
Manage episode 519417236 series 2542321
In this episode, I dive into the practical ways service members and veterans can prepare for — and thrive through — a government shutdown. I share my own experiences as an enlisted Marine and financial specialist to help others avoid financial stress during uncertain times.
From leveraging credit responsibly to building an emergency fund, I break down what it really takes to stay afloat when paychecks pause. I also address common pushback from my viral Instagram post and clarify why taking responsibility for your finances is empowering, not shameful. This conversation is about ownership, preparation, and financial freedom, even when things get tough.
