Very little people can self fund 50k in 4 years, but get a job on an average salary..lets take 16k for example, live tight and put 10k of that towards your training for 2 or 3 years, theres 30k...don't discount that you can get a career development loan of upto 8k for your training too....another small bank loan would see you through your training. A great investment for your future career. You can goto uni, get into the usual uni debt, once you leave you will get a semi decent paid job but it would've taken you 4 years then how many more to pay off your debt incurred? this was my reason why I decided uni wasn't for me.
It may take 4 years but during my PPL I flew atleast 1 or 2 times a week - it gives you something to look forward to each week (until you hit Exercise 12 and 13
)! fastest 9 months of my life!
After your PPL you just continue to hour build by spending your wages on hours until your at 150 hours, 100hrs P1 (a pre entry requirement for your CPL training).
Sit down and think about things in the long term! When I first started thinking about this career I was inpatient and was fooled into thinking along the lines as you are.
