Well, I play two characters, one has no apreciation for money being a Goddesses Right Hand (Nishnumbur from Sumerian Myth).
The other is retired military. He is working as a full time employee for a city hired contractor, aquiring water samples, tissue samples, and the like needed for research. Between his stipend and retirement check he makes enough to pay the bills, pay for school (non-traditional student) and donate a small amount of money each month to the Baumtown reconstruction fund.

Simply put, they should include this in the game manual. Good work (idiot, uh huh, riiiiiiight). 8)
