Modular student here. Started last year, almost got my PPL and will continue on.
Funding by gradually putting away money each month and spending it on flight training. As far as I've calculated, it will probably take me 3-4 years to finish everything - at least I won't have any loans to pay after. Of course I might get a loan when paying the TR - depends how fast I'll get a job offer but that is faaaar into the future thinking.
Have a good one and good luck !
