Military families are bracing for October 15th — and it’s not looking good.
If the U.S. government doesn’t act by October 13th, tens of thousands of service members could miss their paychecks. Loan applications are an option BUT Banks are denying “shutdown loans,”. USAA is doing hard credit pulls, Navy Federal Credit Union has people flocking there to try to get paid and families are running out of options. In this video, I break down what’s happening, why it matters for your wallet, and what financial steps to take right now if your paycheck is at risk.
-Learn which banks are helping vs hurting military families, how loans, credit checks, and TSP withdrawals really work, and how to prepare your finances for the next government shutdown.
-This is about more than politics — it’s about financial survival when your paycheck depends on your paycheck.
