Default Commercial rating: Am I wrong here?

You are in a very similar position than I am! Nearly 300 hrs
PP-ASEL-IA...

I am absolutely passionate about flying and would love to do it as a
career, but have a great job, a wife and two kids and fly once or twice
every two weeks. At the moment, I am not pursuing the commercial
rating, but mainly due to a lack of time and lack of "spare" money.

I will get my commercial rating, I will get my CFI rating, and I will
be an instructor some day, but on a schedule of my choosing and because
I love to fly! I can't justify taking that big of a pay-cut, even
though it is one of my dreams to fly for a living! (couldn't be away
from the wife and kids for some of the jobs that have high travel
demand, either)

I say keep it up! How cool would that be to to out once or twice a
week and let someone pay for your flying, while at the same time, being
able to help make someone elses flying dreams become a reality???

Best Regards,
Todd
