If someone can refrain from buying the latest video games and cell phones they should be able to weather any storm. But frankly the impact on peoples finances of the big bad shutdown should be minimal. Its hard to find anyone who's not getting paid. People at a CONUS AFEES or NEX and civilian yardbirds might not be but that's about it from what I can tell.
When I was active duty we still got paid. The only change really was anything we purchased must be deemed as mission essential to keep the ship running.
Heck I'm a retiree and the eagle still poops the 1st of the month.
