Does anyone else ever just start getting bored with the hobby? How do you keep it exciting?

Sometimes taking a break is what you need.  I am pretty low volume--once a month or everyother month so its always exciting for me.  Plus, variety keeps things spicy

A break might be a good idea to let myself refresh ha

I've been at this for many years now and it's never been boring for me but given that you say you are, your advice seems sound. Give it a break and maybe a return at some later date will be just what you need. Take a break but after some time, look around a bit and perhaps someone will spark your interest again. Yeah do it!

Lately my interest (and funds) have been at an all time high haha I'm thinking maybe I'm just feeling a little burnt out more than anything as I've experienced so many amazing people in a relatively short time. I'm used to only seeing someone every 3-4 months previously. The last 3 months have been like backstage at a Van Halen concert for me lol

Based on your review schedule, I can see why you're likely burned out. Take a little VA-CA and hit it again after the first of the year!!!
