This past year I've put in over 720 hours of simulation. If I wanted to do
that in real life, even on a very tiny airplane, it would cost me $253,800 in
rental fees (not counting $56,000 to get the pilot's license and IR).

$352 per hour to rent a plane? What're you comparing this to,
renting a Caravan?

And where I live, you can get the Private *and* Instrument ratings for
around $10K.

I find it incredible that you have spent the equivalent of 4.3 MONTHS
sitting in front of Microsoft Flight Simulator this *year*??? I
can't decide whether that's awesome, sick, or both...

thats 2 hours a day, everyday.

I spend about that much time watching TV or being on the internet in a
typical day.
