Do you think the US govt will default and what will it mean for those reliant on social security, US pensions etc? how will they pay things...and do you think the politicians will still take their paychecks? Hope they can get it sorted...but I don't live over there so am I reading it all wrong?

Has been a little while  but have been busy...my mom has now moved in with us so our house has been busting at the seams, and we have her pets as well that doesn't like other animals so we have to keep them seperate...it just means more people, more cooking, more grocery shopping etc....most of which I am doing. Seriously housing over here is beyond a joke and so hard to get. She was living with my niece but her hubby's dad had a bad medical episode and has had to move in with them so my mom had to move.

I am going to redo all my budgeting and thinking about moving banks as well, as I have just gone off the rails and I'm not sure the bank meets all our needs anymore..so researching that....hoping to get back on track soon and start over...anxiety has been through the roof and made things harder...and the weather is getting so cold (for us anyway) and so wet...so that doesn't help....time to press the reset button.

Hope everyone else has been doing great and achieving their goals!!
