I do have a second job which is paying off/down some bills and hopefully will pay for finishing my instrument, then CPL, MEI and maybe CFI.

I like the idea of working Part 135 part-time /or instructing.

I'm the same age, but my situation is a little different. Although we're starting late, I believe that we both will get to where we want to be....whether that's at a regional or I'm lucky enough to get on with a Major...pax or cargo. My fiance will be working in a higher paying school district next year so we'll be ok. No debt for me with flight training, but my personal bills come to about $800/mo. When we get married in August, bills will be right around $2800/mo.
