Make an effort every check to sit some aside. For your younger folk that is a tough choice with kids to care for. But, if you just do it now, it will pay off in spades up the road.
Our industry has had a turbulent past and will likely have a turbulent future. The fatted cow is here at the moment, but next week it could be an emaciated hulk. Invest in your future when you have the $ to do so. You can let the car go for one more year and put the full ride in your 401. And, just for giggles, throw another 10% in an investment account. Or, buy a rental property and let your tenants pay the mortgage for you. End game, free house to sell.
The real take for you youngins' is to plan for the eventual pendulum turn. It is for sure gong to happen in your career.
Just sayin'...

As one who has navigated this corner of the industry for almost 40 years, I have a bit of advice (I know you are just hanging on the straps in anticipation...)

I flew icky old Turkish this month and hit 91... zero complaints, except for the tomato and cheese sandwiches.
Dear God, tomato and cheese sandwiches now haunt my nightmares.

Quick (I.e. sloppy) math says 13 fly days (3 1/7s) times the reserve pay of 4 hours is 52 a month. So if you actually block 13 ‘real’ hours in 16 days, you’ll break guarantee; that is roughly the minimum trip to and fro Europe (BLG to DOV with tailwinds). So pretty good chance you’ll break on the 744 even when the flying is thin.
