Dont give up! Follow your dreams but be smart about it.
Is there any way you can start working for an aviation company and then claim your flying as a tax deduction - that way you get something back at the end of the financial year. Gets some advice from a tax agent about your country's tax deduction laws.
Otherwise think about where you can get more for your flying dollar - take into consideration exchange rates etc.
The other option is get yourself a job that may be difficult but pays well. I did labouring to pay for my qualifications and completed the theory on my own. Work during the day and study at night.
So think about where you can save dollars and then convert the $$$'s into flying.
Dont get yourself into debt early in your life because aviation has burned many people. Always have a back-up.
