I don't even have benefits like I use to. I shell out 500 a month in that department. I just took 18k out of my savings, and paid the IRS last week. You have to stay hungry and always looking, never settle. I plan on applying to the DEA next year. I have been lazy towards school, but I am slowly getting back into it myself. I lack 38 credits for a BA, but I am LAZY when it comes to papers and I am horrible at upper level math.(trig, cal). I had to breakdown and see a financial advisor in 2005. It openned my eyes when it came to money. And sometimes this outside help shows you some kind of enlightenment.
