As I have said before, without the paper the most you can ever fly is your imagination. Go for it, you're only here once and regret is a hell of a thing to live with.
In that scenario you are correct, if you already have most of the money spent then you should finish your training, but I am referring to someone mid forties who has yet to pay the full 80 to 100K to get fully trained up.
I haven't completed my PPL yet, i started it a long time ago, everything in life is easy until you have kids, then a lot of options disappear quickly.
