I'm healthy. It is very expensive and that is the delima as to is its worth it at my age. As you said that guy is in his 30s and been at it for 10 years and now moved up to bigger planes, more money. If I am at it for 10 years I will be pushing 50 then only have another 15 years after that. Time sure flys doesn't it. The first several years you will be lucky to hit 30k for the year from what I have seen.
