Good.

But so long as you make note of your economic situation without
correcting it, don't expect to be taken seriously. Flying has a price,
and most here are willing to pay that price.

Flying has an extremely high price, which imposes a very high threshold of
interest in aviation for pilots, even those with lots of money. It's an
extremely expensive hobby.

I think I have an answer for that. You could take up skydiving! If you could
somehow get through the initial training and gear expenses you would only
have to pay for half a ride at a time. About $25.00. And you wouldn't have
to worry about being scared out of your wits by landing in the plane. Of
course, you don't get to drive.
