Every year it seems that the airlines want more TAFB and offer less in wages. I want a life more than a career. In ten years the airlines will be made up mostly of young single studio apartment living aviation monks. If it isn't there already.

I live in a beautiful home in upstate NY near the Finger Lakes. I still have 15+ days off a month, and enjoy teaching in J-3s on my days off as GA is still a passion for me. There is plenty of money to live very well and do the things I want to do.
Sorry it did not work out for you, however I personally would not change anything. Out the door to enjoy one of my days off. Enjoy your day off complaining about what you never achieved.
