Plan on working hard in the summer, but the rest of the year I find living in base and bidding reserve to be fairly enjoyable.

Second that my friend. I'm just glad you bid junior to me since we share the same philosophy. Although time will tell, my gut tells me our nice life on reserve could be in for a change.

I don't think I "lust" for money. I have, however, seen some pretty dire straits ... things were pretty bad for a long time. With that being said, I try to make and stash as much cash as I can. I'm rarely home, and I work a second job. Just when I'm ready to take a break from the second job, another for sale sign home goes up on my street. I consider it fear more than anything else.
