Do you ever think maybe the reason you are so fantastically wealthy is the fast that those before you at least tried to raise the bar? I see many of the same qualities in my own son, who in 20 years...I'm afraid will be just like you, willing to settle for less.
I CFI’d for $8/hr. Started flying a EMB-145 for $21/hr. Flew CA on it for $50/hr. Didn’t make over $100k a year until I had 11 yrs seniority and then gave up $40k a year to come here for $50/tfp.

I won’t settle for anything less than what OAL’s earn. And most parents want their kids to be more successful than them. Mine is happy I get her free airline travel and vacations. She’s happy I didn’t come crawling back to live in her basement after I left at 18.
