    On the lease purchase you can go home whenever you want or can afford.

    As much as you can afford would be the best answer. I will be off for 2 weeks so that means no check for 2 weeks. I have money put back to be able to do that but a lot of guys get themselves in a hole they can't get out of when they do that.

    Well last year I went for a week and wished it was longer so I decided 10 days this time. Last year I payed in 2 World series of poker events but this year I decided I won't unless it is with money I have won.

    The longest I have taken off is a week. But I try and time it out so that I get as many miles in on the partial week, the one I go home on. That way I end up even that week and still get a decent check the week I come back out. I'm at home now staying 6 days this time.

    They won't hire you living there. I have been east of I-81 in the northeast one time in 15 months here.
