I got your email . . . I'll be in touch soon. MMAs do work, and they're guaranteed to do so. The only people that would never consider this are people who are that well trained by the banks. You're right, most people don't make any additional payments. That's actually one reason MMA are going to become very popular . . . people don't have to save up their own money to make an extra payment, they don't have to pay the bank fees to set up a bi-weekly payment plan. It's all done for them, using the bank's money! The only real risk is that a person might go out and spend their available credit on frivolous purchases. There's nothing that anyone but that person can do about that, but MMAs provide a real-time display of the long-term effect of those frivolous purchases, hopefully providing maximum incentive to stick with the program. As for how to deal with the skepticism, I'd say our exchange on this thread pretty much sums it up. All I have to do is convince people to think outside the box that the bank has made for them. It is important to note that I'm not asking anyone to "throw all their money" into anything. Their money doesn't go anywhere & noone but them ever has access to any of their money. Thanks again for the good questions, I'll talk to you soon.

Military. Solves all the scheduling and conflict issues. You TELL the airline when you're doing military and they give enough time off to get there, do it, and return well rested. Federal law prevents any whining or hassles on their part...they REALLY don't want to go there. I never heard of any large airline giving pilots hassles. Try to go in as an aviator or at least an officer.
If you're a commuter and you can do your monthly drills in your home town, then you get an extra weekend at home every month.
Another good military trick is to finish year one at the airline (so you're done with your probabationary PC's), then go on military leave for a year or two. Your seniority accrues while you're gone, you get paid more by the military, you come back and presto, instant captain!
Real estate is another popular pilot hobby, but things are cooling a bit. Actually, your airline pilot status will help you in any sales job...the customers will find you interesting.
I have a friend at AAA who does high-end residential tile work work. He has a good rep, and people trust him in their home cuz he's an airline guy who lives in their neighborhood (as opposed to Julio from the Home Depot parking lot). He got into it by doing his own house. Nice fallback position in case of furlough too.

I can't say exactly that. But a decent spousal income helps with the stability. We married young and at first she wasn't an income producer. Went to school and she is now a RN. I still make more but we are SOOOO much more flexible and it allows me to take a step back income wise to take two steps forward down the road when trying to advance the career.
That said, I do tell the youngins to not marry until they are at their destination job. It's really frustrating having to negotiate every career decision when your 'partner' doesn't really get it. Think really hard before you do the "I does".
