Patience is a virtue
OK, doesn't help with your initial need to get your PPL, but here's my 2p anyway. Try and look for a career that will end up paying good money quite quickly. You don't necessarily have to enjoy your job too much, but if it pays well and funds your flying then its worth doing for a few years. I know conventional wisdom is that you should try and work in an area that you're interested in, but I think that's a load of old cobblers. How many people really enjoy working? It is just a means to an end. Get a job in IT - it's generally quite easy and pays reasonably well.
