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

No, I'm just in Europe, where 250 euro per hour is not uncommon (and
with the current exchange rate, that's a lot more in dollars).


Well, since you don't have any of either, it's immaterial.


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

Where I live, the private pilot costs between $21,000 and $28,000 to
obtain, and an instrument rating is another $28,000 or so. Some
pilots actually find it cheaper to go to the U.S. for their IR than to
pass it here, although a U.S. instrument rating has some restrictions
on it in Europe (in particular, you can only fly a plane IR if it has
a U.S. registration).


Nope. Wrong again.
