According to the latest news on Friday, President Trump has decided to call a temporary, three-week cease fire in his battle with Congress, which will certainly come as some relief to the hundreds of thousands of Americans -- federal workers, contractors, and others -- who weren't paid during the 35 days of the government shutdown. And beyond those directly impacted, millions more took hits to their income from the knock-on effects. Overall, it was a whole lot of people in a whole lot of money trouble. All of which is a darn good reminder that no matter who you work for, you need to have an emergency fund. Maybe you have one, maybe you don’t.
But in this segment from the Motley Fool Answers podcast -- recorded before we had any idea how much longer the shutdown would last -- hosts Alison Southwick and Robert Brokamp discuss the pros and cons of various options available to individuals and families after they’ve run their regular bank accounts dry. Some of them assume you have other assets. Some don’t. But hopefully, if you ever need such tips, one or more will prove helpful. And some choices are definitely worse than others.
