Backpacker,
But if it's the "go places" that attracts you, then a PPL opens a whole load of opportunities that you generally do not have pre-PPL.
As with all of your posts, very well put and quite true. But if you're struggling with time and/or money, you aren't going to be able to manage the going places post-PPL anyway. And that means you might just as well chill out and enjoy the flying that you can do, rather than do battle with what life is throwing at you and try desperately to get a PPL quickly...for what? But yes, everyone's different. Isn't it lucky they've got people like you and me to present all the alternatives?
