That is far less important than the fact that they simply don't have the money

I have a $100/month cable/internet bill. Plus a $50 cell phone
bill. Plus the maintenance, repair, and replacement expenses for 20
different devices in my home that people didn't have 50 years ago.


Add them all up and you'll find that it still doesn't cost anywhere near as
much as flying.


For $150 you can easily rent a C-172.
