Flying used to be so much easier and safer. As long as you had your ticket, got to the airport on time, and didn’t run into any bad weather, air travel was relatively straight forward.

So if you’re up to your neck in consumer debt do something about it! Stop spending like money is going out of fashion, start saving and work harder + smarter to increase your income (which is easier said than done).
