Live WELL within your means, and don't go spending money like a member of congress because you can't print more when you run out. Wait until you have been a captain awhile before you buy that captain house.
Debt is slavery.
Appreciate the unsolicited advice on finances, but I’m not a noob.
After two decades and multiple airlines, I’ve been through two furloughs and am debt free save my <$2000 mortgage. But thanks for telling me how to spend my money.
