Young Private Pilots

Hi all, I started flying when I was 15 years old (2 years ago) It is a dream of mine to become an Airline Pilot in the future. I had to stop my flying in November due to financial restraints, I had no financial help from family or sponsors, ect. I went out and got a job to fund my way through hour by hour, now two years on, I am 17 and I have saved enough money to pay for the whole PPL contract with my Aero CLub, I start flyin with no finance to worry about in July, can't wait, I will have my PPL before I get my driving license!!!

Just a query if anyone is or has been in the same plane as me when it comes to flying at a very young age? please share you experience with me.

I have always said, "Lifes not a dress rehersal" so if theres something you want, go for it, and that is exactly what I did, at the grand young age of 15!!!
