I smile every time I hear about someone winning like this.

I heard a rumor about a married A330 Delta pilot couple that both took the VEOP and one went to Breeze as a DEC and the other went to UPS I believe.

It's not something I would do in my current situation, but you are talking bad about two people probably close to doubling their income overnight for 3 years. If they had kids and they were out of the house, they could both work weekends and see each other just as much as before but instead of making $500k, they are making close to a million a year. It would actually be foolish NOT to do that.

How are pilots always so hard up for money near the end of their career? Should I be worried?

This isn't about being hard up for money. This is about taking an opportunity to double your income for a few years without any perceptible drop in QOL. Are you saying that's not something you would ever consider?
