It all goes onto the great hole in the sky and needs to be counted. Your first clue that something is wrong is when your friends and peers outside of aviation start buying houses, getting married, and building lives while you are still living like an impoverished college kid.
Buy the house instead.

Most of my friends that have graduated college in the past 2 to 3 years don't have real jobs and sure as hell won't be buying houses in the next 5 years.
This economy has changed the game for a lot of folks.
And I have no real want to own a house... I would own property as an investment, but never a house of my own. I'm a bit of a vagabond by nature. Have been for years. So maybe thats another reason I picked this profession.
