One can do a fair bit of flying on not much of an income IF one lives in a very simple fashion - no family, no boozing, no "accidents"
And no hiring overpriced thirsty American spamcans!
Youngsters who want to fly can, and do. Most microlight and all glider clubs have a few around.
It's breaking this mindset that the most expensive way to go flying is the only way, along with the fixation on the licence - rather than the through process of flying.
