Do what I did--justify buying an airplane by the fact that you are going to
get your instrument rating. This will put you in the proper mindset for
aircraft ownership

Hi everyone. I have about 100 hours in 150's and 172's. I am thinking
about getting an instrument rating and buying my own plane within the next
few years. Should I go for the instrument rating first? I was thinking
this might help me build some more time, and the instrument rating would
be
looked upon favorably by insurance companies when the time comes to buy.
Or, should I just buy the plane and fly it to get the instrument rating?
I
am considering a 172.

Thanks for all advice!

Matt
