This week we watched news coverage on how Congress needed to pass this year’s fiscal budget by midnight on Friday or face a government shutdown that would avoid paying pretty much everyone except for Congress. Thankfully a deal was reached hours before the deadline. However, that deal only extends the government’s budget through this coming Friday, April 15th. A long term deal has not been reached.
While you’re waiting to see if we’ll see a true government shutdown this week, check out some of these great personal finance articles:
