Good man!! Well done on the huge wages, I wish I earned that amount. Even so, don't throw your hard earned cash away needlessly, you really don't need to!! As said very early on, learn in a small single turbine. Not only is it cheaper/less complicated/available, but it will actually be more fun. Even to this day, after flying many many different aeroplanes and helos (currently a 135), my most satisfying and fun flying was in an RAF Gazelle. If you can't get one of them, a 120 or 350 seem pretty close. I opened my licence with jetranger, it was a bit sluggish but still ok. If the money you save per hour is still burning a hole in your pocket, then hire a limo to take you back and forward to the airfield each day, drinking vintage champers on the return journey.
