How did you justify the cost of the PPL?
I have recently secured a job which will enable me to take one 1 hour flying lesson a week, and have a little left over at the end of the month.
The problem is it's around £150 a lesson. That's incredibly high- it would keep petrol in my car for 3 months, or it would pay for my phone contract for a year.
I'd love to learn to fly, but i'm wondering whether I should wait till I get a better paid job (This is my first full time job, as I am 18) or if I should just go for it now.
I know it costs around £7-8k for the PPL, but this would eat up the majority of my salary.
And once I get my PPL, i'd have to hire a plane for £120/hour.
It seems like a very very expensive hobby. How did you justify paying for yours? (Assuming you were not on a big salary when you started)
