Go invest that amount in another property or business and also take a year out travelling - fly for fun with what you have now.
if you want to be treated like a low life and be offered scraps - and made to feel that you need to thank people for that - go ahead and be my guest.
80K up is nothing much but still a good place to be..... i would definitely not advise spending that amount on becoming a pilot having been though it. But if you don’t mind loosing that amount as a punt - go for it - you can only live to regret it...
On a serious note - fly for fun, invest that sum and take a holiday..... you will appreciate it all much better.
