Most advisors are thieves.

Not quite true - I left aviation full time to become an IFA and run my business we look after clients with regulation very difficult to be anything else thank goodness. And remember an advisors advice now is effectively guaranteed for life they carry the liability to the grave.

I now FI weekends days off so and that’s keeps me attached to the flying thing. Do ATPL groundschool and PPL IMC night.

I do agree with saving though many don’t and life’s is bleak at retirement - divorce is disaster for most clients Ive dealt with as Wife seems always to get house and many guys start again at 50 plus with a 300K mortgage. And spousal maintance !

Many airline friends love it many hate it but almost all IFAS who work for themselves love it, ones who work for companies not so much, strange old world.

Flying the aircraft is wonderful working for for modern companies not so IMHO.
