Those are truly wonderful comments, inspiring really.
I was quite specific about asking for HELP there, from people who had been down that road, not the nay-sayers!!!
I don't want to borrow any money from my folks. I want to borrow the money myself, however, I don't own a house, or anything other than my soul (which yes, I would sell) to use as security on a bank loan. I also dont have the 70K laying around its gonna take to pay for training and cover living expenses.
I am truly over joyed and happy for you that you sold your house and all that jazz to pay for your flying. I suppose if I waited that long for my libido to go and my hair to fall out then perhaps some of the best reasons to become a pilot would be gone and I might decide to become a policeman instead. Saving all that money.
Unfortunately I am not planning to give up on my dream. I have worked so hard to get where I am now, to even CONSIDER putting myself through flying training. If mummy and daddy were super rich parents without a brain between them, I would have asked them YEARS ago to just give me the money.
Man, I can't stand nay-sayers.
Incidentally Scroggs, I would love to be around when your child comes to you for help achieving their dream, and then seeing their face twist in pain as you dismiss them, being as you put it, dis-inclined to acquiesce their request.
