Bump bump. Save lots of $. Make hay while the sun is shining. These are the good old days, etc etc.
To the point of this thread, it’s entirely possible to have a very comfortable life here in the right seat if you keep your expenses under somewhat reasonable control - as in not getting to the point in your life where you think $20k/mo isn’t a lot of money.
There is no amount of money that you can make at Delta (or anywhere) that can’t be vaporized by an out of balance run rate.
