My takeaway from the article was, the world of 1st class flights and 5 star hotels, while def. nice, isn't all that... if you look at the hidden costs i.e. no family, extreme loneliness, boredom on flights, etc. it's definitely amazing in moderation, but like all good things, the key is moderation... i.e. don't fly in 1st class 24/7 and be severely depressed. Honestly, at the end of the article I found myself feeling bad for him- must be really lonely...

My exact thoughts

at the end of the article, where he transfers UR points to Julio, his domestic partner

and don't wanna sound racist but just look at the photos of him, it's quite clear from the way he dresses and his demeanor

Yup, I took away the same thing.

read it out loud to wife,
kind of knew deep down this must be his life,
wife keeps giving me this musser all the time.
and read it to validate her point.

like someone said above,
we got a family and much better things in life.
moderation is key,
but moderation will have to happen after I get to try out every single F product out there.
:)

Chances are, it'll be even harder once you experience it all.

moderation is key,
It's also easy to have moderation when you don't have enough miles or time to always fly everywhere.  :P
