Default Todays Cost of getting a PPL

I have no money, and no time.


When I learned to fly, I had no time, and EXACTLY the amount of money
needed to get my PPL -- no more, no less. I actually drained my
savings account the same week that I took my checkride.

There was no money in the budget for flying. None. We flew when we
could based solely on bonus commission checks from my job, and
birthday/Christmas gifts. (My mom knew that all I wanted was "flight
time" for any gifts...)


That's exactly what I've told my family I want for Christmas and Birthday
presents from now on! LOL!
