This may seem trivial to you, but I dont believe it is.Seeing as I am going to spend 40-50,000 in the next 5 years, and i am aware of every pound I spend, I try to decide what I NEED to spend money on, and what I dont. Why? because every pound I spend is a pound i need to earn through work. 11 hours flying is 10% of my hour building, and will take me apporximately 3 months to save. Therefore, I am trying to rank what is important to spend that little more on. If i take the cheaper GS, I get 11 hours flying as well. I am not financially secure enough, nor in a well enough paying job to consider 11 hours flying trivial I'm afraid.

For example, I will do hour building in Uk. It will cost more, but I believe the experience is better. Therefore, worth extra cost. Night rating is cheaper at a different scholl to my current one. So, I will do it at the cheaper one, as it is only 5 hours and so therefore ok to save a bit of money on. I bought my PPL books on ebay, last years editions. got me an extra hour flying.

These things may seem trivial, but in the long run may be the difference of thousands of pounds. Are you really telling me that to save £1100 on getting the same thing does not concern you? I am simply raising the question of what sort of things you should prioritise the cash to, and what sort of things you can afford to do a little more cheaply.
