My old instructor once said, "if you you are taking the steps to go to Major, don't get married until you get there."
I ask because I'm trying to figure out if I could live on Regional pay with wife and a baby. No, my wife or baby does not work at this point.
I'm in that situation right now, and it aint easy. My wife doesn't work right now and it's tough getting by even on Horizon's pays. If you wife is working you could probably get by just fine. Just make sure the chic you are marrying or her family doesn't expect you to be a rich pilot
