3. Stay married to your first wife.
Good advice, but eaiser said than done.
1. I'm here, but junior (6 year)
2. I am, $107,000 home on small lot.
3. I drive a '99 Corrolla with 199,000 miles on it. Wife is in used SUV.
4. 20 years and counting, plus she works too.
I have nothing (toys, etc) and I still live paycheck to paycheck. There is always something: kids, car MX, waterheater out, school, braces, taxes, etc. It never ends. I don't even have cable/satellite.
A professional pilot at a major airline shouldn't be in this position. I made more at the regionals.
