Your food budget is our entire monthly spending requirement. Crazy lifestyle some people live.
Not sure where you are but in my state kids can do an associate's degree (essentially all of the lower end 101 courses and stuff like calculus 1-3, etc) at the local CC for $100/credit hour, it's around $6k for the two-year. Then transfer into the State system and get a 4-year. Total cost is around $20k-$25k not including room/board total for the combined BS/BA degree.

The only reason I did was my ex wife ended up sleeping with one of the owners while I was in long term training on the Hawker. FML. I think for me, I’m gonna nuke my 401k, pay off my house, downgrade back to FO, and pull all my kids out of their club sports, and then just keep applying everywhere and anywhere. F&ck!!!!!!! I should have left when Frontier fell through the first time! F&ck this POS airline!! I hope Ted slips and falls and his guitar lands right up his a$$!!!!!!!!!!
My dude I can feel the stress in this post through my computer.
Wind the clock. NO RASH MOVES. Get with your family and explain everything, lay it out on the table. Make a plan. Plan A, B, C, D, E and F. Think through it through logically as best you can.
