I spoke with the Schwab guy couple years ago and I’ll need $10K a month to live
comfortable with my current lifestyle and am planning my 401k accordingly. Just curious what other pilots think they need ?
I get your point, but have you looked at interline cruise rates? There are some big discounts out there. I haven’t seen one with Viking, but Uniworld is 1/2 price for instance. Windstar is well under half in some cases.
