Yes, but is is only mid-Feb. Don't worry, keep going like that all year and you will have enough for a decent Amex 241 by November. I can assure you that after the "joy" of 2 Y RTWs a month for several months, you will not want to get on an aircraft on your day off.

When you know exactly which rows in the a/c have the extra 1" pitch, and if those seats are not available switch flights. The reason you know this is that you have previously sat in every seat on the a/c.
When you take a long haul trip with six transits not for the extra miles but to limit the time spent in any flight to 8 hours.
When you decide not to ask for an on-departure upgrade because you notice from the a/c rego that you have a non-standard config which means your seat already has an extra few inches of pitch. Save that upgrade voucher for another day!

When you dream the travel gods have finally seen fit to reach down and pluck you from WT and see you moved to WT+, at least, and then suddenly you wake up to what you hope is a snoring sound. <sigh>
Still saving up for that CW trip...

Or when you make a special trip into town three days before your flight because you've run out of the aspirin you fondly believe thins your blood enough to allow it to keep flowing unhindered through a completely scrunched up human body.

That, and the hard bar at the top of the seat back pocket which gives you a permanent dent in your kneecap.

When you start to enjoy the taste of cheese.
Not forgetting as you spray the plastic tub of orange juice on you when you peel the top off, then lacerating your lips trying to drink from the stupid thing.
