You could do that at United easily . Just depends how much you want to work . And select a junior airplane as to be off reserve .

Uh, yes. Yes you can. (Current car is 25 years old. Looks like $hit. Runs like a top. BECAUSE I MAINTAIN IT. Religiously. Gas mileage sucks though. LOL. Current "value" estimated $335-$3600 bucks.)

Cars (if you don't live in a metropolitan area with good public transport) are a wholly predictable expense. Like a new roof, HVAC, water heater, washer/dryer, refrigerator, etc. If you're surprised when they fail, I can't help you. Because THEY'RE ENGINEERED TO FAIL.

Amazed that people don't monthly budget for the next car. "AHHHHH! My car broke!!! I need to beg a car salesman to lend me money on any terms for a new car!!! I thought it would last forever!!!"

(FWIW, I've found government auto auctions to be a decent place for "good enough" cars that have been on federally funded maintenance schedules.)

Budget for the next car? I have 7 cars, rolex watches, 5k suites, styling profiling, mom kiss stealing, limousine riding jet flying son of a gun! Whoooo

Oh and as an international widebody guy... Last year I spent more money, on spilled liquor, in bars from one side of this world to the other, than you made.
