A long time ago, a 727 CA told me, while I was wrenching for him (I was 28). You do not need to save, your pension will be enough. Go have fun and soon in the next ten years (tenyearsgone) you will be a whale captain (dtw,reserve).

Good thing, I took my Father's advice and started saveing and studying for a different career, just in case. 14 months later, i was on the street..

Have fun, but take care of yourself first (financially).
