Enjoy your flying. As`has already been mentioned its a gift, a fantastic gift that not all of us get to do. And way things are going in this country savour every minute of it as in 5 - 10 years there will be no such thing as a private pilot over here. ( no one will be able to afford it!)
And also as mentioned do not get in to debt for it! I was going to, but have seen very differently now, and have managed to stop before I would have financially crippled myself for the rest of my life. I still cant believe the people who blow 70k plus away! To do that in todays economic climate might as well be suicide!
Best wishes
