once again baja i am sorry that my post was worded inproperly, i meant to agree with you and comment on the people here that feel they should be rich just because they are airline pilots, making over 100k a year is good money anywhere you go in the united states. you may not be able to afford a 1.1 million dollar house but who could. there are very few career fields that can afford that kind of payment. i feel you buy the best thing your money, aka job, can afford. if we had the means to tell our employers i want to buy this house you need to pay me this much, what would be the point of school and anything else we do to increase or life styles.
