Anyone have recommendations regarding a good full suspension bike that won't break the bank (if such a thing exists)?

Do your research, go into your local bike store, learn the different features & options & then decide what kind of bike best fits your needs.

I did all the above, realized that I'm looking for a hardtail bike & ended up getting this

It's a great bike that's set up so that I can easily upgrade the specs when I'm at that level

Why did you determine you only need a hard tail - everyone is telling me I need a full suspension to do any real mountain biking

Hardtail is good for uphill. You need full suspension for downhill.
