Sure you can have high expectations however the reality is that they will not be met. Your father is enjoying the last of the good old days. No one is sure if UAL will even survive. Just the the other day UAL mentioned that they need to cut another 400 Million.


I am forced to assume that most people here desire to have a middle class lifestyle. If you harbor dreams of living in a studio apartment alone then I am sure your dreams are within reach. Outside of that it is highly unlikely that you will be able to reproduce the lifestyle your father was able to provide.
