Default Todays Cost of getting a PPL

That's exactly what I'm suggesting, and I figured you'd refuse,
although I'm not sure what the big secret is.

You earn x amount each week. You have to pay a amount on rent, b amount on
bills, c amount of groceries, d amount on petrol etc. If all of those
things add up to less than x, then you have the potential to learn to fly.


Over what period? If the margin is $50, it will take 240 weeks to pay
for your license--five years. And you'll only be able to afford to
fly for 15-20 hours a _year_.

In any case, my margin is negative, so I won't be flying any time
soon.

I've proven I can do it. Now prove to me that you can! Force everyone in
this newsgroup to have some respect for you, and do it.


Groceries come first. I tried to buy some milk and a pound cake
today, but I had to put the pound cake back, as I didn't have the
¤2.12 necessary to buy both items.
