You need to tell us what your expectations are. You said "private"
pilot. A PPL can't do much other than fly around with passengers and
without an instructor. For instance it doesn't qualify you to fly an
airliner or even to charge a few bucks for hauling cargo.

OTOH, you are able to have fun. Flying is just pure fun. But, you had
better have plenty of insurance even though you are renting airplanes.

And note that achieving the great goal of getting a PPL does not make
flying suddenly free. You maybe allowed to operate an airplane, but you
still have to pay for it and pay for fuel, etc.
