Actually, I'm in the military and a bit underpaid, but I've been very blessed. I got a couple of bonuses for reenlisting, so I put the money to good use. I'm majorly hooked on PRS guitars myself. They're all I use these days.
I play bass in a 'core/metal band called Hemotheory. There are one or two songs in which the guitar player and myself switch places. I'm also working on putting together a punk band. I'll play guitar in that one.
Here's the band's link: www.hemotheory.com
