To help people reading this subforum, are there any (nationwide) businesses providing special deals or benefits to furloughed feds if there's a shutdown? Or other things people should know?

My agency's (LOC) credit union is offering interest-free loans to members, which I've made aware to some of my newer-to-the-workforce colleagues who might be strapped for cash if this thing runs particularly long. Might be worth seeing if something like that is available in your agency's case.

My agency/division/section has certainly been making it known that it's gonna be a lean year budet-wise even if/when we get one, hiring is definitely gonna be difficult this FY.

Oh for those old-fashioned shutdowns of yore, not these hip new ones that only happen over weekends when nobody'll notice.

I'm GS-9, 3 years away from PSLF deleting my loans, and I live in the DMV so maxing out the ol' TSP isn't an option right now regrettably. PSLF should coincide, roughly, with some predicted retirements thenabouts though, so hopefully I'll be GS11/12 by what'll be my early 40s, and I should be able to max it at that point. Then it's just kick back and let the next 20+ years roll on by!

Even just the PSLF might be sufficient space to max since I wisely married up and the wife is GS-12 with PSLF'd loans as of last year.

But needless to say I started Day 1 with the 5% match so, ya know, I don't have nothing in there.
