No! Those trickle-down economics they told us about will be kicking in any time now! I'm certain!

Just put their office address in. If they query, just say "Yes, I'm already living there so you may as well give me a job while I'm there".

How I've always seen it:

Starfleet (and perhaps a large portion of the UFP) do not use money or valuable materials to pay their workers and other organisations within Starfleet and likely those other UFP worlds under the same philosophy.

However, they do need to deal with many civilisations that do not subscribe to the same ideals. As such, they would likely maintain funds by trading to and from these civilisations.

It would be possible as others suggest to either bill Starfleet directly, or for officers to be able to requisition various precious items/currency as/when needed.

They do hold that data of course, where possible. I've heard it called personal P&L.

But tbh I reckon it would only be a new source of depression to know. :p

And here I am on a 1080p plasma screen from 2011. Because it just will not die! Which, is a good thing I guess.

Yep, this one is also 3D but the active kind. I've not used it in years, the glasses probably need new batteries.
