My family and I very much got injured. After being laid off we ended up reduced to a two bedroom apartment on $1300 per month of unemployment, pregnant with two already and no health insurance.

I was forced to find a way to support my family and aviation sure wasn't a beacon of hope in 2003. I really had no choice.

My situation is different. I already spent my money and wasted my years trying. My ticket has already been paid for. I would be stupid not to throw a few hail Mary's once in a while just in case lightning struck. However, if I was 20 years old again I would never take even lesson one to become a pilot. The price of entry is to high for the potential return being offered.

I make a special effort in your case, so it takes time to properly respond.
