Default GA Flying Down 20%

You can't live comfortably on $50K per year? Remember, you would be
incurring NONE of the expenses inherent with earning a living (I.E.:
Commuting, clothes, etc.)


Well, I don't live in a nudist camp, and although I wouldn't "commute",
I would still need to drive.

Your tastes are obviously richer than mine.


No, the area is more expensive to live in. What is the rent on a two
bedroom apartment where you are? True, I could move, but then I
wouldn't be near friends and family, and near what I like to do.

Could you "live comfortably" on $x a year, if you could not fly?

Where? And at what inflation rate?

$1 million dollars, without so much as putting it in a passbook
savings account, will net you $50K per year for 20 years. That's two
decades.


Where I come from you can't live comfortably on that.


um, my after-tax income isn't much more than $50,000. I think I'm
living pretty comfortably. Heck, my retirement target is around that.
Maybe we have different concepts of "comfortable."

I couldn't live comfortably on $50K a year twenty years ago.


You can play games with numbers all you like. Consider $100k per year. Ten
years salary is a lot of money.

In two decades, it will be worth only $27,000 in constant dollars. After
allowing for taxes and other expenses, it will hardly amount to anything.

I could live quite comfortably on that, without so much as a part-time
job...


You've probably already earned considerably more than that. Where is it now?


mine? IN airplanes bikes cars and a house, not to mention the memories
of a million other things.

WEhile your´s is all in "railroad tycoon"

GA isn't dead, just not burning AvGas.


That may be a very different flavor of GA, one completely inaccessible to the
average private pilot flying for pleasure. I've no doubt that business jets
are on the upswing, but that's not a realistic option for someone who normally
rents a Cessna 152.

missed he point, as always.
You´re an idiot.
