Fo w2
Hello, I got a pm from someone asking about w2 as an FO. I was never an FO on the new contract so I don’t have any info. Anyone care to share their w2 and years longevity? Not including bonus. Thanks.

Sure, they want my Social Security number and my mother's maiden name too?

Here’s the easiest way I think I can put it.
Are you a single guy or girl with no debt and just basic rent/mortgage? You’ll be fine, have money to save, and have some money left over for fun.
Are you not that? You’ll still probably be fine, just might have to be a bit tighter money wise for a year or 2.
It all comes down to how you are with money. I’ll fly one trip and the captain will tell me about his $200K household income but is up to his eyeballs in debt and then the next trip I’ll have a captain tell me about how his wife doesn’t work but they’ve saved up money to buy a house and his retirement account is looking strong.
