Not everyone lives in an area where they can rent aircraft for $79 per
hour, and a 152 may not suit everyone's requirements. And even at
these prices, they are out of reach for many Americans.

I started with nothing and now have a job paying in the mid-$50s
that allows me to fly around 90/hrs per year.

So you need $55,000 to fly for one percent of your time. Sounds like
an awfully expensive hobby to me.

Obtaining a job that pays $50k/hr or more is doable by anybody
of average intelligence that is willing to work.

If only that were true.

I'm under 30 yrs old and have a college degree, my private, instrument,
and am working on my commercial - all paid for in cash (no debt).

Enjoy it while you can.

Quit feeling sorry for yourself and get a job that pays.

I haven't said anything about myself.
