The answer my research in r.a.o seems to yield is "maybe", and anything
less
than 150 hrs would be "no". I fly for enjoyment, and even though I am a
woman I don't mind tinkering around with things; an airplane would
obviously
involve a lot of tinkering


Someone else (or two) helping split the fixed costs might mean you wouldn't
have to fly 100 hrs to break even vs renting. I think I read 3 people on a
non-money pit 172 = (about) 75 hrs vs renting. That's only 6 hours per
month before you pass the break even point.
