One assumes you must have won the lottery or are independently wealthy or have another income source.

Most of us moved on from instructing simply for financial reasons, I couldn't support a family on instructors pay (when I was full time, I had quite a good retainer by UK standards), and to be truthful these days you can't really support a family on turboprop first officer salary either.

If I could earn 35 - 50 K a year as an instructor then I would have happily stayed working as a flying club instructor, lets face it that is not very likely.
